hiya,

Well, we woke up around 7:00 and were meant to have breakfast at 7:30. But this was a bit hard for me. I couldn’t get up. My back was hurting from the game i played yesterday, so later on around 9:30, i was taken to hospital to get x-rays done 4 my back.It was fractured! lol. But im fine.i was then taken to a really posh hotel 2 rest. So many kind people helped me . I must say, it was with the help of Jamie (thanks). The hotel is real nice. That’s it for today.

good night

radhika

Hi de Hi!

Well today was full of dramas! we woke up to find Radhika couldn’t move, which was worrying!! so she had to go to  hospital with Jamie where they did an X-ray and found out that she had a fractured tail bone!!  dun dun dunnn! Thats the last time she tries to climb over a rope! But we all miss her and it has’t been the same without her today, although she does get to stay in a hotel tonight so we’re all a tiny bit jealous of that hehe. Anyway, today we left the wahiba sands camp which was sad because it was such a nice place to stay and it was so cool just waking up to the red sand and blue skies! Our first stop was for lunch which was yummy..chicken and chips! hehe and there was an amazing view across oman to add to that! Then we went to a place called Masifa which is a little village that took over 900 years to build, it was so peaceful there and the scenery was really beautiful so we spent a couple of hours sketching! After that we started our journey back to our base house in Muscat where everyone fell asleep..until our Car tyre exploded! it wasnt just a small puncture it was a  masive rip..argh!But we all survived! Then we got to pizza hut yummmyyyy! everyone was awake then! After that we arrived back home and had to say goodbye to our drivers which was sad becuase they were all soo funny and friendly and we miss them already!! Anyway best stop rambling!! byeeee  x

I  can’t believe this was the last dai in the wahiba sands it seems so hard to explain to people back home that we’ve been living in sand! since the last 2 daiz no1 will ever quite be able to understand what the offscreen team have been through not only as a group but individualy 2……..

so we woke up to anova daii of sunshine and heat…we set out in our 4×4 for the last time it was emotional we somehow managed to hook ourselves to cars they were part of our lives the time we were in the camp….

we set out in groups to go the town of misfah which was in the mountains….to be honest it didn’t look so nice in the beginning but it was when we looked deep inside the town and saw the water fall..which showed us a real insight to what this town was about..it was amazing a real highlighting experience of what oman is all about…..

after working in misfah for about 2 and a half hours we set off away from the wahiba and the mountains back home to muskat it was an emotional journey leaving this part of what seemed to have set in our hearts over a really shot time but I have to say living in the desert and camping out had to be one of the best experiences ever especially as me and lucy attempted to climb a dune right to the top which was practically impossible but we made it up and back down….

HAPPY TO BE BAK HOME IN MUSKAT AND LOOKING FORWARD 2 A GD NYTIE SLEEP I S’POSE BIG DAI 2MA I GUESSS !!! :)))))))

Well…Today has been the most tiring day so far, i say that because we done about 6 hours driving  and for some reason i couldent sleep in the car haha. Well we visited this place called Misfa, It was high in the mountains and it looked like the flibnstones haha, but it was really beautiful. When you first see the area it looks dead and just uninviting, but whebn you walk deeper in it shows it’s real colours; it felt like paradise. we did a Few art pieces whilst there. And then embrased ourself for the long journey back to Muscat. But we had ‘Pizza Hut’ on the way so that was a bonus.

Bye Bye

ermm 2day we left the desert and i miss it already. its been gr8 living in the desert. today was another calm day we went to the mountains and did 4 sketches of the village. i think i did good because i really concentrated on my work. we have 3 days left and im going to miss here. the drivers are so nice. although im gonna miss here im gonna be glad to see my sisters and friends and  my MUM :D
