A Bahrain Fort and Museum

The fort, from a distance

Pretty ocean view

Seriously, it was chilly

Salutes to the old, old wooden ship

A dead kid in a coffin bowl




Blowing kisses goodbye



After departing the Tree of Life, we made our way to a fort. The fort is actually a World Heritage Site, a shown above. It was a very chilly day, hence the reason for hats and scarves. 
The for was big and made of stone. We spent a good amount of time walking around it and looking at the ocean. It reminded me of how I can't wait until it's warm again and we can go to the beach.
After walking around for a bit, we made our way to the museum. Inside, there were cool artifacts that were recovered from the sight, as well as photos of people around the sight. In the museum, we saw old boats and bones of child who died way way long ago. The put the children into these bowls, and that's how they were buried. We saw old jewelry, and snake skeletons too. The snake represented fertility, so I guess a lot of people back then wanted to have babies. 
We ended our museum tour with a tasty strawberry smoothie that Charmaine ordered, and boy was it delicious! On our way out, we walked along parts of the beach where the tide was out, and picked up some shells.
We headed back home to get ready for a night of partying!
