Kayaking the corniche

Thursday morning, Sara and I took a kayak from school and headed down to the corniche. We were trying to kayak along the coast and see the back of the palace. What we found was spectacular. We did see the back of the palace, but we also got to snorkel a bit and hiked up to an old lighthouse. The view was spectacular and all along the rocks the ships that had entered Muscat had left their signature. There were several ships that had stooped multiple times and they had carved or painted their ship names into the rocks. I've told several people about it and it looks like I'll be going back sometime soon.
The whole trip took about 4 hours from door to door. The pictures won't do it justice, but at least you can get a little idea of the sights. The forts you'll see are everywhere in Oman, but not all of them are as well maintained as these.
