Have been here for six days now and thankfully we can collect the bikes tomorrow 9-3-23. Rauel and I flew over together last week and the rest dribbled in later in the week and we are all at the same hotel.
We have walked everywhere, the beach had nobody on it and you can't swim as they say it is dangerous, but certainly isn't. The water is nice and cool and there is no humidity like Mombasa but it is 34*C .
Went to see the largest Mosque here which is just across the road, but would not allow me in cause your knees need to be covered. A local guy helped me out and went to his car and got me a Musar and tied it around me and told me to keep it, as a gift, so was able to enter.
We all go and have dinner together which averages $5 a meal and food is good and there are plenty of places to eat, Lebanese, Indian, Pakistani and Omani.
We hired a car for two days and drove down the coast to the Yemen border which is about 140km south west. The mountains run to the ocean with dramatic views and some windy roads up and down with camels wandering around on the roads and highways. Had a refreshing swim and visited some view spots overlooking the coast after having some camel stew for lunch.
