I guess the turtles hatch their eggs just about anywhere along the coast. It is the city of Sur, south of Muscat, however, that is most famous for turtle hatching sites in Oman.

At the Shangri-La

Here’s my baby at the Shangi-La. I was tempted to go swimming but when the only shop at the hotel asked 68RO for a simple pair of swimming trunks (That’s 177 bucks, folks, for a cheap looking swimsuit that one might find for $1 or $2 elsewhere!!), I not only lost my desire to go swimming but I near lost my temper and my appetite! That is HIGHWAY ROBBERY! And yet MANY overweight foreigners were sitting around the pool and beach wearing those ghastly shorts. As long as there are suckers willing to pay the price, I can’t see the prices going down anytime soon… (Note to self: always bring your swimsuit when traveling!:-))
