Just another weekend

I started working again on Monday (from home) so time now comes as a premium again and with additional to-do tasks like viewing homes and test driving 4x4s after work not too many exciting things happening (especially considering that my working day is spent segregated in our room in the empty house with nobody to talk to apart from the maid when she comes in to clean... I think I may become even crazier soon).



However the weekend is now coming to an end so I can fill you in: FANTASTIC!



Today we spent 6 hours at sea on a lovely boat that took us on a trip to Bandar Khayran a really beautiful bay south of Muscat where we did lots of swimming, snorkelling and generally had a great time.

I was impressed by the condition of the coral (saw quite a bit of hard and soft coral) even though the visibility wasn't the best. Lots of little fish, box fish, a terrified mooray who couldn't find a suitable hole to hide in when we approached, huge pipe fish, lots and lots of huge sea cucumbers (they haven't obviously been fished out for the Asian market yet here) and lots of other stuff I can't even remember.



It was really a lovely way to chill out (well if you can call it chilling with these temperatures!) and spend a weekend afternoon. Every now and then I wondered whether I was dreaming...



The photos speak for themselves....

Anyway, how are things over there? We'd love to hear from you.
