It wasn’t quite Manama in Bahrain but Arad Fort is just next door. Actually, EVERYTHING is just next door in Bahrain. When living in Saudi Arabia, just across the causeway to Bahrain, we used to listen to Radio Bahrain and usually got a kick out of the news reader telling us that “the King has left for the interior of the country”. We thought it might be a euphemism for him having a look at how the palm trees in his backyard were coming on.
At the time, we were looking at this part of Bahrain’s past, Arad Fort was built in the 15th century. Now that I’m looking at the photos it my personal past.

A new look to your site. And doesn’t he have the loveliest expression? I stopped by briefly this morning but couldn’t stay as we were off out walking. For a change!

Good for you (-> walking). We had “high fog” the whole morning (which basically means: fog but you can sense that it’s sunny above the clouds). It finally dissappeared well after lunch and by 4pm the sun was low again. One really has to pick the right time for walking at this time of the year!
