These fishermen didn't catch anything while we were watching. Reminded me of my own efforts at home.

We stumbled across these flamingos as we started the the drive into the Wahiba Sands area. I don't know what the big birds behind the flamingos are but they were quite large. You can see the beginning of the sand hills in the back ground.


Did I mention that we saw a lot of camels on the trip?
Not all of them had chauffer driven transport.



This is a bus stop. There are all types along the road and all are built in the arabic architectural style.
This is Sandra's new best friend. We stopped at a servo to get reassurance
that we were on the right road and her Dad jumped out of his car to help. He
came over and introduced himself then, in very good english, gave us directions.
Once he had done that he brought his daughter over because she wanted to meet
the white
lady and have her picture taken. The clothes she is wearing are typical of the
women's clothing along the coastal area. Black is mainly worn in the city and in
the desert.
