Last night we returned from a fantastic four day stay at the Shangri-La resort near Muscat in Oman. We have to admit that we did not actually leave the resort with the exception of a short sunset cruise one evening. It was a very relaxing place to be, the kids loved it, and Monica enjoyed a massage treatment at the Chi spa. Also while there we celebrated David's birthday with a cake compliments of the hotel. We want to get back to Oman and see more of the country (outside of a resort), everybody tells us it is fantastic.
Below are a few selected photos from our long weekend...
The view from our balcony - it was nice to hear the waves breaking on the beach in the evening... In the foreground is the "lazy river".
The fountain pool which the kids enjoyed the most, Susannah loved running in and out of the fountain and Johnathan enjoyed climbing it. (And Dave and Mon enjoyed relaxing on the sun loungers watching the kids).
Mon, Johnathan and Susannah on the "lazy river". You just walked up, grabbed the raft of your choice and then got gently swept down the river (and back again in a full circuit), a nice way to commute between two of the hotels in the resort.
