Day 3 Oman Countryside Feb. 19

We were up at 7:00 and off to breakfast.  Actually we were up all night as Thirsday night seemed to be a night for partying.  A regular weekend here is Friday and Saturday.

Risben picked us up at 9:00 and we headed out of town.  Our first stop was at the dam.  A great place for picture taking,  then we headed to Sink Hole Park.  We had chicken tikka sandwiches that Gillian's cousin had brought. Yes, I went down the steep steps to experience a fish spa for free.  They seemed to like Bruce and Gillian better.  The water was cool and so turquoise like.

Next, we visit several wadis.  We got lost a couple of times and ended up in small villages on very small steep roads.  We made it back home after stopping at a hypermarket to buy some Coke around 5:00 pm.

After a couple rum and cokes for Happy Hour we walked about ten minutes to a restaurant.  We chose to eat outside as the temp. Is around 20 C.  Perfect.  Maribeth and I shared a Greek salad and a chicken shawarma.  Pretty good!  Bruce had the mushroom steak, mashed potatoes and veggies.  People at almost every table were smoking hookahs.
