Oh Maaaannn

Have just got back from a fantastic weekend in Oman. What a place. So different from where we live in lots of different ways. The people are more relaxed, very friendly and helpful. They just have a different sense of being which makes it a wonderful place to visit. We have come in the warmer months so some of the green is not there and the dust bowl that has blown up over the Middle East has joined us here as well. The country has a far more established infrastructure so the roading is well developed as are the drivers. We feel a lot safer on the roads here. People indicate and stay in their lanes and even give way. Local people talk to you more freely and children smile and laugh at and with you.
