THE SEA LIFE SANCTUARY

On Saturday, we visited in the Sea Life Sanctuary in Gweek. I haven't been there since I was young and Nathaniel has never been. The sanctuary aims to save seals and release them back into the wild. 

I'm not big on zoos because the idea of keeping an animal captive for the entertainment of people, completely baffles me but, they're doing a really good thing here. That's not to mention how totally adorable it is. They also house sea lions, penguins and 2 resident otters (which were my favourites). In terms of clothes, I went pretty laid back. I've also fallen in love with V-neck t-shirts (my younger self would be ashamed). The trench coat still makes it look put together even though it was pretty effortless...

OMANI NEW YEAR

My 2015 was welcomed in with my family for the first time. We had a barbecue, drank tequila and did the cha-cha slide. Oman is a majority Islamic country so it is frowned upon so show your shoulders and knees in public. We stayed at home so I made the most being able to wear a short summer dress wore is kaftan to protect myself from mosquitoes and the cooler evening. Finally, how beautiful is this view at sunset?!

Oman Photo Diary

Family is super important to me and I really cannot think of a better way to welcome in the new year than cha-cha sliding with the best and most important people in your life on the 31st of December. This week was well and truly full of firsts. It was the first time in Oman for my mum, dad, brother and Nathaniel; my first holiday with my brother and Nathaniel's first with my family; and first new year celebrations with all everyone. One thing Nathaniel said repeatedly was; 'I see where you get it from now' so the thing that was most obvious to me this week, is that as a family, although we couldn't be further apart in distance, we couldn't be closer in likeness. Then we came to 'Goodbye' which I will never ever be any good at and don't ever seem to get any easier but, it is the way that it is and I am grateful that this distance has allowed us to become closer and introduce us all to this amazing place. Here is our week in photos...
