... Mosque , is indeed very grand,and very large and quite a wonderful place to see and experience. It is only open until 11am to the non Muslims, and essential to have head, arms, legs covered for ladies. We spent over an hour seeing both inside and out, wonderful stone ,marble and tiled work. The whole of the Koran is carved into the stone work. Our driver , whose name I never quite grasped had a lots of knowledge to impart as he showed us around. Then to the Sultanate ...

... we actually saw him adding beautiful shiny beads to one abaya he was working on. He was from Bangladesh and said he had been in Oman 26 years. He kept patting his chest as he explained his work and we interpreted this to mean that he was the owner of the store and had produced all its beautiful wares. We by chance came across the Muttrah fish market just as it was closing. Lots of interesting fish, including giant ...

... La prouesse est d'autant plus fabuleuse que les rues iraniennes sont illuminées par les groupes d'étudiantes qui les traversent ; la vie vient de la femme. Elles sourient, rigolent, s'activent à côté d'hommes dont il semblerait que le pouvoir qu'on leur a transmis sans raison (comme cela, comme tel) constitue un "plafond d'humanité" dont l'expression est timide, fade, parfois meme aigrie (la domination a à ce titre fait en Iran un ...

... feel in love with the daughter of a Hindu supplier, who refused the match. However he prepared for the wedding and convinced the commander that the fort's supplies needed a overhaul.

A spot of lunch at the famous D'arcy's Kitchen and a wander along the beach ...

... and not doing too shabby a job from what we could see. Oman has very little oil money too. The Omani's are mad keen on soccer and the soccer 'fields' are found in the most unlikely places - one we came across was cut into the side of a steep mountain and was completely gravel - we would have mistaken it for a car park if not for the goal posts at each end. In one of some repute part of the goal keepers brief is to keep out the in-coming tide, in another the ...

... big news here: this is a Cat 5 Hurricane we're getting, potentially very deadly. If the story has managed to break into the airwaves where you are, you've probably only heard speculations about the OIL. And this makes me very sad. Please don't forget about your fellow human beings here in Arabia (and I am disgusted to have to advertise the fact that many of us are Western expats, by the way).

... if someone can help me out I would be grateful as I really have no clue. UPDATE - A random viewer of Travelpod just educated me that they are Muslim Pilgrims going for Hajj to Saudi Arabia. Thanks to him. One other thing I did notice was that at the front of the newspapers instead of having the weather forecast - which would presumably just say ¨It´s going to be hot again today folks¨ - it has the crude oil prices and how they´ve changed from the previous day.

... only 1 - 2 turtles ultimately live. Most turtles babies are eaten on beach by foxes or eagles, even if they are successful in reaching sea water, they are eaten by bigger fishes. So ultimately 1 or 2 survive. These turtles actually travel different places like Maldives, Thailand and even Australia and return back to the exact places back even after 4 years. The ranger also told us that temperature is important in determining the sex of babies, like 28 deg produces all males ...
