swimming hole. and for Sharon, Peter and myself, it was enough and we spent
the half hour or so frolicking in the cool clear waters. As a bonus we
found that we were in a natural foot spa as the little fishes started
nibbling at feet.
Mosa was pleased that Garry said he wanted to see the cave with the
waterfall. Off they went Garry armed with his go pro but no reef shoes
which made for a tricky and at times painful trek. From his reports it was
quite strenuous and at times there where long deep pools of water you had to
swim across to get to the cave. Swimming upright through a narrow passage
with just enough room for your head so there is no need to dive, you are
rewarded with a very nice waterfall. Garry was pretty pooped by then, but
Mosa grabbed a rope and scaled the rock next to water fall, played up to
Garry's Go Pro and dived back into the water without, well I was going to
say breaking a sweat, but he was already wet. Eventually a very tired
looking Garry return to our pool where we were still enjoying out time. The
walk back never seems as long and it certainly didn't seem as hot, but I
suppose the water had really cooled down our body temperature.
With not much time to spare Mosa stopped at a local restaurant for a quick
take away. in hindsight we should have gone sandwich, but we went biryani,
not easy to eat in the back seat of the car. It was delicious. I don't
even have a picture as my lap played "table" and there was no way I could
take a picture and not have everything end up on the floor.
Sail away was stunning now that the haze was gone. With the most impressive
sights being the Tower in the shape of a incense burner, so white against
the mountains behind it. Forts that blend into the landscape look like
book ends protecting the palace that sprawls along the waters edge below..
Thankyou Muscat for another great day!
Another good stepping day.. Makes up for a couple of bad sea days!! Count is
