Day two in Oman was our relaxing day. We had things planned for the rest of our time there and wanted to be sure and actually vacation instead of just going, going, going the whole time we were there.
So we lounged around the hotel and swam in the pool and in the evening we headed to Qurum National Park to get some fresh air and let Stella play.
Something else you should know about Oman is that its incredibly lush. There's grass and plants and loads of palm trees and it just feels like an oasis in the middle of the desert. I realize we haven't been in the middle east for very long, but we do miss grass very much-- especially the two incredibly outdoorsy people I live with.
We walked into the park and were just surrounded by all that bright, verdant lushness. We walked around for a few minutes and then found an awesome park for Stella to play at so we copped a squat on the grass and let her run and play.
We stayed until the sun went down and even after that before we walked back to our hotel. Staying where we did in Muscat afforded us the opportunity to walk to quite a few places and gave us a different vantage point to the city. We always try to walk a city if we can-- its truly the best way to get a true feel for the it and its people.
We continued our easy, relaxing day with a movie and some food delivered to our room and called it an early night to rest up for the next days' adventures!
