Yesterday Me n T2 decided to visit Failaka Island.
Couldn’t have picked the worse day as weather was horribly humid, I reckon 110% humidity levels. Anyway’s here is the quick-shot trip:
-
10 am boarded Bint-Al-Khair catamaran from Marina Crescent [ KD 7.5 per person]
-
10:10 am couldn’t take the heat and suffocation of seating area, we were on deck enjoying much lacking wind
-
10:40 am touchdown at Failaka port
-
11:00 am reach Failaka Heritage Village via a double decker
-
Quick look around the island reminded me of Kuwait back in 1990 during the invasion. Totally deserted, houses exist with hardly a soul, and yes sad markings on the Iraqi bullets still visible on some walls
-
11:30 am touchbase at our chalet, a huge relief because of air-con
-
Fantastic chalets and village has nice pool
-
12:30 pm took buggy rides from the village. BIG MISTAKE !
-
12:45 pm buggy broke down, T2 had to go back and fetch the guy
-
1:00 pm had a rude argument with buggy guys for refund [KD 5 per person per hour]
-
1:10pm got a cop into the buggy affair, the buggy guys shitted in his pants and refunded
-
1:30 pm slept for 2-3 hours in chalet
-
Had tea at Ikarus Hotel, beautiful architecture
-
5 pm stroll at the beaches
-
6.30pm boarded catamaran to Kuwait City
