Ibrā’

Hello old capital city!

After our crazy hiking and no eating day we needed a rest day. It was also the last before Ramadan, means the last day where restaurants are open in the day time.

So we had a little lift in the morning to Nizwa and there we stayed the whole day. Nizwa is finally a better looking city and has also some history. Like I said was Nizwa the capital city before, not just for ones and I also don’t really remember the date so I leave it like that.
In the middle of the city is an old castle with a market where we spent the most of the day before we climbed a hill where we slept.
That was probably one of the best sleeping spots on our journey.

New day, new energy and new hitchhiking experience. Our first lift was great, an old man picked us up and gave us a little sighting tour.
He was really nice and told us a bit about the area. He also visited like every mosque on the way, means we needed over 2 hours for a 30 min ride. We still had a good time and it’s nice to get some input from local people.
Fun fact he don’t know his age. He said he is like 70 to 75 (not sure which calendar)
We think he is like 80+

After he dropped us we had some more lifts and in the times between we been dying in the sun. There is not much to tell.
We arrived at noon time in Ibra climbed a mountain again and slept next to a river.Read more
