No Bull Deaths,

Bad Typing - oops

Sorry guys, ive re read my stuff and boy, my brain does work faster than my fingers. I hope you can interprete my typing. Touch typing gives me dyslexia. eheheheheh.

Thought i better clarify my humor - No bull deaths@ the Bullfights
oh, and no the bulls only bump heads a few times and then they are separated, the poor guy in the picture below must have passed on from old age or heat exhustion, it was there before the bull fight started - we were a bit shocked and hope it wasn that bad and it wasnt, is was very humane. No blood whatsoever.

to recap :

heres the winner - head high - sometimes the bulls would go back and teese the looser, and chase the looser away - very funny to see.

heres the looser just as they were being separated, see the looser doesnt have any black on him - so cannt be the guy beside the bin... Both are very healthy, but tired, and do a lot of snorting, dribbling and kicking dirt after it. esp the looser

Trip across to Fujairah - Gulf of Oman

Snoopy Island


We sent another busy Friday travelling to the otherside of the emirates to go to Snoopy Isand, near Bidya, for snorkelling, and to check out how cold the water is, hahahaha. I suppose it looks like snoopy lying on his kennel ? Theres Nathan and Josh in front. It was too rough to swim out so we just did some body surfing, the kids loved it. Darren took some time to lie back and enjoy
It was very relaxing and enjoyable and yes the water is cooler on this side of the UAE - yaa. And the waves were high and lots of fun. We got dunked a number of times.





We stayed for a few hours and then head off to Kor Fakkan - very impressed, beautiful beaches and stalls and stalls of fresh fruit and veges, this is also where you can buy carpets. Ill just take a quick photo - always reluctant to stop. Hey want are u doing - not out of the bottle...............
Off to Fujairah - hmmm lets stop look theres bulls everywhere - nup find that new u beaut highway straight quick way home, hmmmmm , where was it, Oh look theres those bulls again, ok lets go and look. A soccor ground, dirt only covered with water, villagers bring in two bulls at a time and they head butt until somebull wins,
The Bull Fights
Ok find a spot -try not to look out of place - hmm only people here in shorts adn blonde - everyone is looking, at leats they are smiling. A toot, ohhh car full of ladies in all the Black trying to see out teh windows, mover over boys, OK Nath u sit with the locals, we'll stand here, wot was that, the crowd split beside us and roped to a tree in arms length a Brahma Bull, norting and kicking, hmm stand clear please.
