Hi Everyone! Arrived in Abu Dhabi yesterday morning. It is SO HOT. 41 degrees by 11am! The city is beautiful...we went to visit the Mosque in the centre of the city, where all the girls had to be dressed in traditional dress to enter, with all our hair and body covered. The Mosque is huge and has over 80 domes and is covered in white marble and gold leaf. They centre of the mosque is covered in an elaborate carpet which is so large that it had to be cut once placed inside to be able to fit. It is the largest Mosque in the UAE and can hold up to 40, 000 worshippers at one time! It cost over $500 Million to construct! Spent the night on Safari in the desert where we rode camels, belly danced and had traditional arabian food, dates and tea. Micaela and I both got Henna tattoos as well. It only finished at 9.30 but we were so jet lagged we fell straight to sleep when we got back to the hotel!We took lots of photos which I will put up soon - trust me to forget my camera USB connector in Australia. Today we leave for London, another long flight :( Hope you guys are all enjoying your Uni break or whatever else you are up to!
