Mini Break

We went to Sir Bani Yas Island on Sydney's mini break from school. We spent our time taking in some activities that included a safari, mastery and a bicycle ride. The late president of the UAE started a Arabian Wildlife Park on the island that is home to all kinds of animals. We got to see some Giraffes, peacocks, Arabian Gazelle and Hyena. The Mastery was dated back to 600 AD. They found glassware and pots that they plan to put in a museum. Monks must have been short back then because the areas weren't vary big. It is kind of neat that we got to see the Mastery since we saw one in Jordan as well. You have to take a ferry to the island and then ride a bus to the hotel. They try to keep cars coming to a few SUV to sight see and golf carts since some of the animals walk around freely on the island. It was really peaceful there. I can see why the late president loved it there. We also got to see flamingo's. I also took the girls to a kids play area and they enjoyed playing with the toys inside and playing on the playground outside. Then, we walked on the beach and picked up some sea shells. I even found some coral. A rock that is dried out now, but it is really cool to say the least. They also plan on scuba diving there soon and it is are hope that we can do that before we move. I know Paul loves to scuba dive.
