Last weekend was a bridge weekend. On Thursday we went to the, so called, private beach. It was a family day, that means that only family is allowed to enter. In Kuwait, there are also lady’s days when only women are allowed to enter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a lot of fun as you can see on the pictures. Water was like 30 degrees C (90 F), full of life. You should hear Olga’s scream when she started to pick up shells and suddenly she discovered that they are alive animals inside. A little trauma for a 5-years old.<\/p>\n

The sand at the beach… well, everybody knows that the best beaches are in Poland, near \u0141eba, where the dunes are, nothing compares.<\/p>\n

Here beaches are treated differently. It is a place where you come to sit in the shade of a tree, grill food, eat and talk. Kids play at the sea or on a playground. Nobody lies on the sand getting burned.<\/p>\n

We spend the whole day at the beach. It was the very good weather. The sky was covered with clouds, so it was not so hot. In the afternoon, it was a nice breeze from the sea. The air temperature was around 27 C (80F) and then suddenly in like 30 seconds the wind blew and the temperature rose by 10 degrees. The sandstorm came from the desert. The sandstorm looks like a fog, but it is a cloud of very small grains of sand, like a dust getting everywhere, especially into your nose. Well, the burka makes sense at this point.<\/p>\n

At the photographs, you can see what people are wearing, usually shorts and t-shirt and it does not matter if you are a woman or a man. The point – you don’t want to burn your skin. At the private beaches, bikinis are allowed and there were few women in bikini, but I did not see a single man in a speedo, it is forbidden.<\/p>\n
