Before September catches up with us...
- We enjoy solitude while the compound (and the city) is half empty
- We take hot baths in the sea
- We do things we know we won't have time to do once September takes us on its whirlwind
- We start going to places we want to discover before we leave the region: we've still got 10 months to go, but by starting early, we can make sure we go through our bucket list before we move to a different part of the world.
Our discovery of the week is a nice Indian restaurant located in the Mövenpick Hotel in Al-Khobar. The chef is said to be the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star. The restaurant is very nice, it offers a flawless service and a very romantic atmosphere (very difficult to find in the region). As for the food, it's spicy (Indian food, without spices, would be reduced to close to nothing), and quite refined.

| The open kitchen |

| Chicken tikka as a starter |
 |
| And lamb biriyani as a main course |
And at this time of the year, and for the first time in months, we get to watch a beautiful, slightly cloudy sky every sunset.

| I guess they've never been to Playa del Carmen...! |
Wherever you are, enjoy the summer before it's over! I'm heading to Jordan tomorrow morning and hope to post great pictures in a couple of weeks.
