Boat trip

It was now time to relax by chartering a boat (with two “captains”) to go dolphin watching and fishing along the coastline south of Muscat, together with swimming and a barbecue on a beach to ourselves. No dolphins were spotted but seven tuna were caught between Tim and one of the captains. Just outside the marina we saw the grand home of the British Ambassador (but very modest in comparison to one of the Sultan’s other palaces on the opposite side of the marina).
