Lucys 9th Day!

16th February 2007

Yet again today was fun! We got up early at half 6 and left to go to the souq market to sketch the people there which was nice because it had a real selection of things like jewellery, fish, figs, electrical, repairs and so on! It also had a nice atmosphere and the locals were really interested in what we were doing. After that we went for lunch and today was the first whole day without chicken and rice!! I guess i kind of missed it hehe. Then we headed off to see a few Bedouin guys and we asked them about their way of life which was really interesting! It was only about a 5 minute drive from our camp so we went back and spent the next part of the afternoon talking to Steve Fryburger who’s a geologist and artist and told us some useful tips! So then we went off for a couple of hours and watched the sun go down which was really pretty as usual!  We also climbed what seemed to be the biggest sand dune in the world Ever! i seriously thought i was going to collapse, but it was worth it when we ran back down again! Then we ate dinner and talked to Steve fryburgers family who are all really nice and spent some time star gazing! all in all its been a really nice relxed-ish kind of day!! and i cant believe we only have 4 or so days left! ive decided im going to live here forever!! mwahaha, Anyway ciao omegos! x

    Hi Sam and Lucy - it just seems to get more and more interesting, I think you may all explode through an excess of experiences by day 12, saving Emirates the airfares home. Sam, how about a tiny, mini blog or two? Anyway, have great weekends and keep on absorbing it all- xx

    How can anyone fit so many experiences into one day? Can’t believe how much you’ve all fitted into this trip! And Lucy, don’t even think about not coming back and emigrating to Oman….. we need you here!! We’ll cook you up a special chicken and rice on your return by the way, if that entices you back in any way… Make the most of your last 4 days and keep on blogging - it’s great to hear what you’ve been up to. love you and miss you loadsXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    Hi Lu,

    After all these sand dunes it doesn’t sound like you’ll be impressed by English beaches anyone. I presume at some point you are sleeping? Some great images on the site here - especailly of your visit to the Bedu Family and market. Also I hope you bag’s noot too full of soveniers. And we’re all waiting your return so that you can cook AUTHENTIC chicken and rice.
    Love from all in overcast London xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
