<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Al Salam Palace Museum is one of the most important projects of the Al Diwan Al Amiri Al Salam Palace was originally designed and built in the 1950s as a residential palace for Sheikh Saad Al Abdullah Al Salem Al Sabah. In 1961, after Kuwait gained its independence, a state guest house was needed to host foreign delegations that began to visit Kuwait after becoming a member of the United Nations. Thus, Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Al Sabah, Amir of Kuwait, transferred the Palace’s ownership to the State. Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, Minister of Finance at the time, was assigned to supervise the construction and furnishing.<br /><br />The palace received its first visitor in 1964. Over the following 26 years, more than 166 emperors, kings, heads of states and many important political and diplomatic figures visited the Palace. During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990 the Palace was destroyed, and its properties were looted. After 23 years, Al Diwan Al Amiri set a plan for refurbishment and renovation of Al Salam Palace, converting it into a museum that narrates 300 years of Kuwait’s history. This was based on a proposal submitted by the Historical Affairs and Museums Sector of Al Diwan Al Amiri, which was assigned the task of collecting the undocumented history of Kuwait from sources all over the world in addition to the design and implementation of the museum.</span><br />

Kuwait is often referred to as being a boring city or tourists and travellers and I would say that's because things are spread out and it's hard to get around. However in one day in Kuwait there are a few things to do in Kuwait City and ways to Kuwait.
Start at the Scientific Centre and walk along the boardwalk to Marina Mall.
Get lunch at Fareej Swalieh.
Catch a cab or the bus to the Old Marina and do a round boat trip to see the city for 1KD.
Take a cab or bus to the Kuwait Towers and go up them for Sunset.
Take a cab to the Grand Mosque in Kuwait City and do a free guided tour on Thursday-Sundays at </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsL0EcSm3sU&t=300s" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">5:00</a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" style="background: rgb(249 , 249 , 249); border: 0px; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsL0EcSm3sU&t=330s" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">5:30</a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" style="background: rgb(249 , 249 , 249); border: 0px; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><a class="yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsL0EcSm3sU&t=360s" spellcheck="false" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">6:00</a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" style="background: rgb(249 , 249 , 249); border: 0px; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> & 6:30pm.
Walk to Souq Al Mubarakiya and to Salat Square.
End in Al Shaheed Park at night.
There are also museums and of course lots of shopping malls in Kuwait too which will introduce you to the old and the modern Kuwaiti culture.
The following day I headed along what is the longest bridge in the world to the desert for an evening of camping and dune buggies in the desert with my friends. This would be possible to do as a tourist but you would need a 4x4 and equipment.</span><br />

So far, we think they are Asian honey bees. Which has me feeling relieved as a few people were telling me they are wasps and to kill them immediately. I really don't want to do that if they are bees.<br />
I am a bit terrified of them and a lot fascinated. I look forward to seeing if they are going to build a hive.<br />

A Senate vote requires a two-thirds majority to convict and remove the president - unlikely in this case, given that Mr Trump's party controls the chamber.</div>

It's been a while that I haven't posted on here, mainly due to technical issues. I hope you've missed me LOL. I used to be able to upload content and pics straight from my phone to my blog and now I can't and I don't know why. I am still pretty active on FB and most days on Instagram. If I ever figure it out I promise to post more on here as I like that this is archived and easy to find.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We booked a table specifying it was for my daughter's 16th birthday and ordered the additional roses for KD 10. One would think that a little extra attention would have been given but no we were assigned a table away from the view and next to the gurgling coffee machine. About 5 window tables have stunning views unless you sit outside which we did contemplate but it was 39 degrees so stayed next to the non-stop coffee machine reminiscent of sitting in a Starbucks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our waitress was fabulous she was articulate, funny and professional. The maître d' was unremarkable. We ordered drinks, calamari, minestrone soup, truffle pasta, shrimps and monkfish. The prices are high and we were expecting great things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Passion fruit cocktail was delicious. Unseasoned bland calamari even the aioli couldn't make it taste any better. Minestrone soup and the bread basket were superb. Truffle pasta was inedible. Shrimps delicious. Monkfish, the weirdest thing I've eaten in a long time it was overcooked and hence on the tough side served with a pea puree (that was not all pureed} and blanched almonds. Blanched almonds which added zero to the already pitiful, expensive dish. Gordon Ramsey would have had a field day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unremarkable Maitre d' did nothing except bring out the chef for humiliation. The poor chef apologised and offered free dessert but we had pre-ordered a birthday tiramisu. Zero knocked off the bill. A limp apology from Maitre d' along the lines of blah, blah next time you come. No honey it's now you need to impress there are too many great restaurants in Kuwait to waste another meal at Dai Forni again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The average dish is priced at KD 16-20 can't remember how much my husband paid in total but way too much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a 3/10 for great waitress service and a fabulous bread basket. PS the roses were wilted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shocked at how disappointingly overpriced this experience was.</span><br />
