                                HAPPY VALENTINES DAY [X]

heya sorry i havnt been blogging 4 a while,

well what can i say its been the most amazing experience ever so far last night we camped out on TIWI Beach (it sounds so exotic lol) the stars at night time were abosloutly amazing to see there were so many yet i culdnt see the moon at all and me and fahad were on the search for the north star but we couldnt find it lol.

  today when we woke up we went on a small trek across big rocks and stoney hill i was enjoying evry second of it every one else was behind me dragging there feet while i was climbing about lol.it was beautiful it looked like a minature
jurassic park (Tom u wuld ov LOVED it). then we went to meet an english artist in Sur and had a huge banquet insiode a huge hall, then we went to a huge house(it was almost like a mansion ) and watched  and listened to the men playing there classical instuments,they were playing songs which they would usually play which was a great new experience for me because iv  got another insight to a different type of of music,which will help in the long run . We then drove to a Dhow workshop in which we had 2hours to draw a picture of the landscape which for me didnt turn out as good at i hoped.

       we are now currently saying at Turtle beach in which we will hopefully be able to see the turtles come ashore at about half 11 and see them lay there eggs and go back into the sea

 I would also like to thank every body for all the comments and miss u all mwahh [xxx]

so before i start to freak people out back home the only reason i’m not writing in slang is because I was forced by offscreen to write formal…(don’t ask)..ok so what did we do today….after a long and slightly difficult rough night at tiwi beach I woke up to yet again travel lomg distances in the 4×4….

first we went to the wadi ..it was so beautiful and just amazing to see peace and tranquilty in this part of the world…it was so calm yet so hot I thought the wadi was a really interesting place to see the history of oman and how things work……..

after lunch we went to a boat yard which was all about the history and culture of oman and how boats were the only source of travel a long time ago and how they hold an important part in history…..

So right now were on turtle beach and have ust come back from watching turtles lay their eggs on the beach it was absolutely amazing …..(did you know? a big turtle can lay up to 140 eggs at a time) …..sleeping in turtle camp after a long days work looking forward to tomorrow :-??

hiya every1,

Today has been really tiring, but fun at the same time. Let me explain…..Well we left to go Wadi Al Shab. Wadi is a place that use to or has water, the one we went to, had crystal blue water and had loads of palm trees. Its scenery was so beautiful. After the Wadi, we went to Sur, it’s like a busy town. We were kindly invited to lunch and then we went to listen to live music. OMG they were soooo good. I never knew it would sound that great. The music was performed by a local group, i think i would call them suretts, because they dont have a name. We then went to a boat yard, this is where we sketched on paper. It was really peaceful. The car i was in was car 1 (all together their were 4 cars.) The driver in car 1 was soo coollll. His name was Habib, his real funny. I just cant believe how nice the people are here in Oman. They are so friendly and have alot of respect for us. Guess what……..it drizzled today, which was odd, but at the same time it was really humid. We then drove to Ras Ul Jinz camp. It’s really nice. we got here had dinner and then went to the beach to explore the surrounding. We went there to see turtles, they were huge. We had to wait for an hour to see them, but then when we did, i couldn’t believe my eyes. We saw two of them lay about 80 eggs. Well that’s about it. Im tired now, so i will chat later. good night.

love every 1

Woke up today in the camp, to a beautiful sunrise. I felt surprisingly refreshed. Set off for a walk along Wadi al Shab, a beautiful lagoon. The afternoon was spent in Sur in a shipbuilding yard, where we spent two hours peaceful drawing.
