Qatar Living Social Group Outing to Fuwairit.
Arrived in FFC about 8.10 am … Sent text to DaRuDe that I am there. Shortly I saw a guy with his 4 leg friend in the other side of FFC’s carpark. I wonder who ‘that guy’ is. It was ‘that guy’. Also we did not realize Johny Bravo coming along, turn out to be Vegas
Gradually everybody arrived one by one. I recognize Greeker, Corne, Gypsy Gal, King Edshel, Scarlett, Owen for the time being. Eventually getting to know all the other familiar names on QL ie : Kelly Heroes, Baedabok and his little girl, DJ Snake (DJ Sanke?), City Gal and the family, Jarreau (spelling?) and her hubby …
We left the car park just after 9.15 am … in total we had 18 car in convoy.
First destination is farm house Oasis belongs to DaRuDe’s friend. It felt like a little bit of far east in the middle of the desert, so green. Had a breakfast there and next we set off into the camel farm.

Few kids had fun did a camel ride … , my son and gypsy gal’s son and the rest of big kids. Greeker and DJ Sanke had most fun. Lots of piccies time and what nice hosts.

Next trip to the beach … some vehicles went ahead at the speed of light, some of us followed on at a more sedate 130km!!!! On reaching Fuwairit, it was all hands to the pump getting busy as we claimed our bit of coast line with chairs, beach mats and tents. Some ventured down to the sea for a paddle and a bit of ‘man meets nature time’ before returning to the ‘camp’ for food and chat.

BBQ was soon a light and everybody was eating, the big communal contribution of food was shared with a bit of everything for everybody.
Thanks to the ‘chefs’ who huffed and puffed to get the fires alight and then did a good job cooking.

It was nice to talk one on one with all the ‘names’ previously not met on QL. Everybody seemed a lot nicer than they sometimes appear to come over on the forum. It seems there was somebody from all four corners of the World ……….. maybe somebody can comment on how many different nationalities there actually were?

It turned a bit chilly, coats and jumpers soon came out and people started to drift off home one by one.
What a great day with great people, roll on next time.
Big thumbs up to DaRude and the rest of the gang who made it happen.

Hey Novi good job..nice pictures, those who were not there will get a very clear picture of our trip. It was indeed nice meeting all of you. …some of you I have met before and most of you for the first time. We really had a great fulfilled trip. Our kids really troubled thatguy’s dog.....she is a very friendly dog.
Big thanks to our dear MR. DARUDE and others who made this happen. We had a great time. Next time we should go somewhere near so that we will get more time together. I don’t want to miss out anyone’s name so I am not giving out names here. All you guys where awesome. Cornie is such a sweetie pie.

the pics are awesome...thank you! love the narrative too!!
Ok, have to say that Martinez and his friend actually asked if they could take the cookies and I said yes since everyone was in the process of leaving...so no throwing seashells at them next time you see them!
Da...once again..you rock as trip setter upper...
Greeker..hon, didn't know you were ill!!! Had I known that, I would have gotten out my sleeping bag and rolled you up in it to keep you toasty warm. Or given you more chili with a ton of chili pepper on it..that will kill or cure you!!

@Absolute Jaguar ... did not talk much to you on that trip. I am sure by now you know where is my home country , hv you check my profile yet?
Thanks Novi, was good to see you, I like the one of me in the middle of the sea, and everyone else standing around on the shore going 'what's that idiot up to' lol
Martinez, I would hide if I were u. Everyone's going to hunt u down for running away with the cookies mwahahah
