Al Corniche

This afternoon we headed off to Sheraton Park to have a little walk around what is more or less to top end of the Corniche. The park itself is really not much of anything apart from a nice large grassy area, but it is a nice section of the Corniche with the Dhow jetty that used to ferry people across to Palm Island plus there are places you can sit on the steps beside the water (not as nice as it could be since it is still pretty cold here in the afternoons).

We went down onto the rocks and tiny beach (a little bit of sand that has been caught by the jetty) and discovered lots of little shells. Think of normal shells, but shrink them! Most of them are not much bigger than large grains of sand, and all rather cute (well as cute as tiny shells can be). Anyway we did come home with a handful of Arabian Gulf shells regardless of how small they are!
