Quick trip - Musanddam (Day 4)

Last minute decision sebelum kitaorg g ke dubai was to go to musanddam on any of the days. Suggest by Kimie lah... and on the 4th day kat dubai kitaorg g ke musanddam. for those yg nak g musanddam dr dubai, kalau takde kereta paling mudah ialah, call je mana2 travel agent and suruh pick up kat hotel. 6.30am dia pick up... and bawak cross border... makan lunch kat atas boat and balik petang tu... cost lebih kurang USD100 - USD120 lebih kurang lah....

for me, masa aku sewa kereta kat airport aku dah minta permission utk bawak kereta cross border, they charge me AED300 for insurance cross border (or dulu aku dpt offer kena bayar 50% extra daily rates on days out of the country). so kalau dpt insurance ni, blh lah cross border.

Musanddam ni kat dlm Oman, tu lah aku cakap kena insurance utk cross border. Jarak nya tak lah jauh mana dr Dubai, dlm sejam setengah je perjalanan. on that day, we left Dubai secepat mungkin, tp dlm pkl 9am jugak lah... tak lah cepat mana... then aku drive (sorang2.. sbb org2 lain tido :-p) sampai ke border around 10.30am gak...

unlucky us, 2nd day raya haji hari tu (malaysia br nak raya) ramai plak org nak cross border... so lama lah bersesak kat border... no proper line... org potong queue... ada org pass kan passport ke depan.. akhirnya pkl 12.30pm br lepas border UAE, masuk plak border oman. Surprisingly, although the same ppl or crowd kat border UAE, sampai kat Oman, in 30 mins all settled... takde pun sesak2... pkl 1pm br settle semua. tired and hilang dah excited nak jalan.

then aku drive straight ke tempat ambik boat... luckily ada boat, depa charge AED400 utk 3 org.. no lunch just boat ride tgk dolphin. cuma ada fruits je kat boat... fascinating view (although still distracted skit ngan pengalaman border)... but the finale, setelah lepas few ppl g snorkelling and on the way back to jetty, org boat tu bawak cari dolphin sekali lagi... for my very first time aku tgk ada 3-4 ekor dolphin berlumba2 sebelah boat... amazing... hilang semua penat cross border and driving... superb...

balik... same script... 2 jam kat border and sejam setengah lepas tu br sampai umah... tired but satisfied...
