Dreamland Water Park & Sheikh Peterson

Our visit to the Dreamland Water Park meant we stayed a couple of nights in a motel. Although we think the air con caused our illnesses, it was still a great idea and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I shared a room with Ava. whose fidgeting as she slept was great to see. I pushed my single bed up to hers with hers against the wall so that she was unable to fall out. What she was able to do was squirm her way over into my bed, push me till I was the one falling out and all this in her sleep.

There is something fascinating about a child asleep and I watched her for ages in the half light before finally falling off myself ………..with her leg over my stomach and me too afraid to move it for waking her. Aggghh!

Bedouins perhaps?

The motel backed onto the desert or is it the desert backing onto the motel. Anyway, I took  a wander. there in the desert I found 4 x 4 cars and men in all white under awnings to protect from the sun. Is this a modern Bedouin tribe I asked myself ?

No. Far from it. A short walk the other side of the awning gave the answer.
