Wadi Shab, painting, and packing to go...
... only a few other people walking there -locals leading some loaded donkeys. There was also an Omani man, maybe in his 20's, who had been ahead of us all the way but when we were all swimming in the pools at the end he became our tour guide! He showed us this tight gap through the rock at the end of the pool where you could just about swim through with your head above water. Sarah an I swam through trying not to get ours heads wedged ...
Turtles!!! Wadi walking, and Sur sunset...

So we went there, queued again ...

We then got on the plane and had a pretty comfortable 7hr flight, though I stupidly ate a little bit on the plane and so spent much ...
Up the Wadi
... swam in with the camera in a dry bag holding it above the water. Afterwards we stopped in Tiwi for a drink and had a sort of Indian cornish pasty. There were some old men outside and I asked them if I could take their photo. One of them handed me a cup of coffee – it tasted like cardamom. They then invited Wally to have one. We had supper in our ...
