On Friday we took a drive to Barka and took a drive up the
Rustag which is situated on a loop road. The terrain was scrubby bushes and rocky
land. As we drove in the traffic we were meeting were flashing their lights at
us, I assumed it was police as it is at home, so I slowed down. We soon saw the
reason for the flashed messages, a group of camels were sauntering across the
road. Linda was so excited her first wild camel shot since Egypt. We continued on to an impressive old fort in
Nakhal. We were two of five visitors hardy visitors at the fort, the only ones
braving the sauna like conditions. We passed other forts but we preferred to
stay in the car and be cool. We returned home in time to go back to the beach
for more swimming in the most wonderfully warm water. We stayed late again and
ordered pizza and enjoyed it sitting in the sand.
