Eid Mubarak Again

It's official: Ramadan is over and Eid has begun. We read in the paper this morning that, although there have been no official sightings of the New Moon reported in Bahrain last night, there had been in Saudi Arabia, and that was good enough for the authorities here.

Eid's status was further affirmed this morning when the poolside bar opened! That means we have two 'normal' evenings here instead of the feared one.

Having spent the morning at the pool we're now going shopping, and tonight have a reservation at an Asian restaurant called BamBu, where for BD11.500 you can eat all you want and there is all the Stella Artois you can drink -- classy!
