    If anybody wonders if Kym has gone too local during his stay abroad, standing in the desert holding the falcon says it all. 😂 Give him another week and he'll have the bird trained to squawk "Stay passionate!" 😂😂😂
    (I must say that you do like very well dressed in the outfit.)

    I would find it very interesting if in every country you go to this year you would try out local food from a local restaurant. You could even ask a local person on the street at what restaurant local people eat

    Bringing back so many memories of my times in Bahrain. I was in the RAF and spent 6 or 8 weeks at a time 3 or 4 times a year. Visited a kart track one time for a day out and a race with my other Raf mates, not at the F1 circuit as that had not been built back them. Plenty of time visiting the souks and bartering, had a suit made for not a lot of money and picked up gold jewelry when the Americans where not around as got better prices then.

    Kym love these vids It brought back many memories for me Late 2000s I worked in KSA and DXB and on Wednesday afternoons would leave Riyadh and drive to Manama so we could drink some nice wine and have a few beers which we weren’t allowed to in Riyadh but don’t tell anyone we actually managed to do it in Riyadh to
    The drive was madness. The speed people travelled across the desert to get to Bahrain was amazing and dangerous.
    Love the food put on too much weight as it’s too hot to do a lot of external exercise Love you keep up the great work. Looking forward to the Grand Prix Jeddah as well.
    I spent a lot of time in Jeddah, much better on the water than Riyadh
    Have fun for you I think that’s second nature😂

I absolutely love them so far… I can put 25,000 to 30,000 steps a day at work, and I live in a wet climate (pacific north west US) ao these shoes are perfect. They’re so great I’m actually going to get another pair 😂 …for backup ;)
