Rudyard Kipling wrote "This is Burma, it is quite unlike any place you know about." The name may be different but little else has changed. We're hoping to learn more about a country struggling to come to terms with itself and the rest of the world.

Lounge Lizards

We're flying Oman Air, our favourite airline, but it means a fairly lengthy stop over in Muscat. Having sampled the delights of No 1 Lounge (Heathrow Airport) and they were delights we head straight for the Plaza Premium Lounge and coffee then sleep.

We momentarily bemoan not having taken the slightly more expensive flight with shorter stopover but as ever, everything happens for a reason and it's positive, having passed half an hour chatting to a lady who thought she knew me we now have an invitation to Kuwait and our time here is well spent. Not to mention we've seen the biggest jar of Nutella in the world. In the picture the top right jar is the usual size. The big one costs $76.



There is not a cloud in the sky here in Oman, the mountains look beautiful. On our return leg we shall go into Muscat for the day and visit the grand mosque but today we are happy to lounge. Eat, drink and then more of the same. The hummus and flat bread are delicious.
