Musandam–Part 2!

It was such a successful trip with the girls in September we thought we must do it again with James and Liz in October. And indeed it turned out to be another tremendous trip. A few extras thrown in -  a different dinner spot in Khasab, a trip down to the waters edge at Khor Najd, that most magical of places, and an exciting drive/bump (!) to our scenic lunch spot – but the same excitement and awe at the beauty of Musandam. The weather was clearer, being that little cooler, and we still snorkelled, saw the dolphins and managed to get through the army road block that we thought might stop us going up Wadi Bih.
