He even stopped by a couple of minutes later when I stopped at the side of the road to see where I was going next. I decided to drive to Wadi Batha which was a few km back the road I came from, then I turned off the main route 23 and drove up north along a nice curvy mountain road that lead over a pass and through a village to a Wadi.
Due to the fact that I was up early again I was again the first person at the Wadi, I wandered around bit. A young Omani wanted to walk with me and showed me a couple of places. This Wadi was much more developed than Wadi Shab, it had bridges and a food area, but it was still very empty, so I headed on back to Muscat. On the way I tried to sort out my bed for the night.
Aziz my previous host using the weekend to bring his Girlfriend to Sur (just where I was a couple of days earlier) so he was out. Kasper, a polish guys, was willing to host me though. First thing I wanted to do though is get back into "civilisation" and freshen up in the Mall, have a coffee and follow up with my blog a bit. So I went back to the Costa Coffee place in the mall and relaxed there for a while.
A shocking experience was when I looked at all my pictures from my Camera and noticed that a hair sneaked into the lend and was present on nearly every photo I took over the last couple of days. So I will switch to my mobile phone camera until I get a chance to buy a new proper camera.
Now it as time to sort out my bed for the night. Funnily the place where I am suppose to meet up with Kasper was another Costa. So I drove over there and we had a chat and after that went to see the Grand Mosque lit up at night and got some food at a turkish place. We finished off the evening with a shisha before we used the nice empty roads at 2 am to take a bit cruise over a mountain road from which you could see the City lights stretching forever. His place was very basic but I slept well.
