I'm in Muscat...

Nov 13th 2009.

This post has been in the draft form for like a month ago while I was out stationed in Muscat with my 2 other colleagues... I remembered, I gave up as the Internet connection in the room was not stable. Till then, I was extremely busy to update this blog of mine... Currently, I'm on my 3 wks-leave, resting & working from home... bliss, bliss...;) but I guess I have to go to work on the 3rd week, if not the 'never-ever-finished-office work will start piling up... :(

Sight of a camel on the desert otw to site visit. It was a day trip by a 4W drive which was 4 hrs journey to site and coming back to Muscat for another 4 hours. Reached Muscat @ night huhu... We were refreshed by having delicious 'kebab' cooked by Zamzabi folks by the dim street...

My room.

It was not bad even at a cheaper place @RM600/nite compared to next door hotel, Hyatt @1K/nite.

Stopped @ Sink hole otw back from our personal trip.

Fortunately we got a day off, waiting for conformation from site mgmt to obtain permission to enter site. At the same time, It did compensate for working over weekends on Sat & Sun ;P

One of the famous forts in Muscat

Stayed @ this hotel - Muscat Safari Resort.

We could picked the fresh dates falling from trees...

The view of the Oman beach. It was all covered by pebbles...

This was @ Wadi Shaab. It took us 1 hour to walk along the pebbled path under direct hot sunlight before we reached the right place for having our lunch... however it was worth the effort after we reached the splendid view of grand canyon with the small river of clear greenish water flowing in the middle...
