North of the border.
Freshly damp from the blowholes at Mughsayl, we continued down the road toward Yemen*. We didn’t want to invite danger, but we did want to check out the engineering marvel that is Sarfayt Road. The road is full of zigzags and u-turns… and just happens to be a mere hour from the Oman-Yemen border. This is when we were glad our mommas didn’t know what we were up to (hehe)!
It takes some close observation, but can you see the road zigzagging through the mountains?
We were all pretty proud of the Yaris for making it around those curves and up the steep incline.
After our little almost-but-not-quite-to-Yemem sojourn, we picked out a traditional restaurant for dinner. Despite the giant sign declaring it “Omani Food”… it was pretty much the Arabic same-ol’.

Still, it’s always fun to eat on the ground in a private room. Shailas optional unnecessary.

*I really really really want to visit Yemen. But… since it’s for sure on the embassy’s list of countries to avoid, I suppose it will have to wait.
