We found a beach (of non-NZ sorts) and picnicked, Teagan style (in Otago colours for those that notice the beach shade), then spent time gathering beach treasures. We continued around the end of the peninsular absolutely thankful for a 4x4 and continually telling ourselves that we were complete novice, sand based, off-roaders. After taking the long way around the tip of some peninsular part of Qatar (the North East) we found some kind of village thingie and then found a desert movie set. The movie set was rather a "hoot" as these two sudanese blokes insisted on "hosting" us and supporting a photographic shoot...all worth it though and the tea they provided was superb (including one guy feeding it to Teagan so she wouldn't spill it)....I think we made their day with a tip!
We barely saw anyone, other than some local Qatari's who were leaving the peninsular the way we were entering and asked us for exit directions! Our next job is to get ourselves a handheld GPS - we are sure that would have made finding some of the sights (buried in sand) a lot easier to locate.
