066 Cycle Touring the Arabian Peninsula

(Leana) #1

(^46) We returned to the beach in the morning to see if we could spot more
turtles. Unfortunately, we only came upon one returning to the water
after her busy night on the beach. Still, we spotted newly hatched
ones appearing from their sandy nest and scurrying to the water’s
edge. The whole process was captivating - what a fantastic
experience. Thank you, Lois.

After breakfast, Lois and I headed inland, stopping at a wadi high up
in the mountains for lunch. Next, we headed to our beautiful desert
camp—a haven amidst the arid landscape. The camp, adorned with
rustic reeds, is nestled in the heart of the desert, surrounded by
magnificent sand dunes.
Muscat

Too soon it all ended, and it was time to return to Muscat. Once in
Muscat, I packed my belongings, and Lois drove me to the airport for
my flight to Sri Lanka, my next destination. En route to the airport,
we had time to have one more memorable meal consisting of a
camel-meat burger, a first for me.
I had no manner of thanking Lois enough for all she did. I had a most
enjoyable time and saw more than I would ever have seen. Not
merely that, but she further covered all expenses. I will forever be
indebted to her.
