Through Pirate-infested Waters to Muscat, Oman

We spent five days at sea sailing through pirate-infested waters to Muscat, Oman. It was great to relax and recharge after so much traveling. We also enjoyed the wonderful music of the performers. My favorite show was their tribute to ABBA.

When we finally made it safely through the Gulf of Aden, we had another day before we reached Oman. I hopped in a taxi with my two Australian friends (Barry and Regie) and we were shown the Grand Mosque, the Sultan's Palace, two forts dating back to the days when the Portuguese ruled this area. We then stopped for a panoramic view of the sea and mountains before ending our time at the souq.

That night was our deck barbecue and the performers gave us a wonderful performance of their deck show "Deckades" where they took us on a trip through the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc all the way to some of today's hits as well.

We danced well into the wee hours of the morning!
