We are still in Salalah but we hope the ship will come here about 30th of April.  It will take about 20 hours to load all the yachts  and then it will take 7-8 days to reach Marmaris in Turkey.

 

We keep ourselves busy.  Working on the boat, going to the gym, bowling, relaxing and going on days out playing tourist.

We have seen on the internet that ‘The Sultanate of Oman is the least known but most exciting tourist destination in the middle east’

So we must be very lucky to be here.  Not that we have seen much of these exciting things, we must be missing something…J

Camels by the beach – just wondering round..

 

  

Afterwards we stopped at the Mariott hotel for a quick swim.. and then to the souk(market) and we finished with

A local Omani meal

 

  

Coming back to the dinghy one day we found that a fish had jumped out of the water and come to a

Sticky end..  not quite good enough for dinner…J
