The view from my "office"

re: The view from my "office"

Spooky fog in Melbourne.. Sure it helps the ghost tours :)
It is keeping the temperature above zero so I am happy :) As long as I don't have to fly... :-|

Grand Mosque, Muscat. The office is currently about 34 degrees, and humid as heck.

The forward view isn't that thrilling ... can feel some snorkelling coming on ...

Did you fly Oman Air RooFlyer?
Their J class looks nice.

Yes, in J from DOH. A long story but a 9:40pm departure ended up a 2:45am departure (5am local arrival) so the J wasn't shown at its best! The return in a few days will hopefully show the product off better.

Were you at least allowed into the Al Mourjan lounge?
If so I hope you drank them out of Krug while waiting :p

No to the Lounge :evil: and therefore to the Krug. The whole thing was a bit of a rolling cough-up, which I'll recount in a post to Open Discussion. Mind you, I'm much mollified now, after spending the day in this office:

The hotel (Al Husn, Shangri-La, Muscat):

Your servant hasn't washed your feet?

Outrageous :p



On a more serious note, it looks lovely.

Wow the Shangri la looks fantastic. We have just booked a few days in Muscat instead of Dubai for our stopover next year. Will look at hotels when we return from this trip.

Keppel Shipyard, Singapore.

Waiting for my new vessel to be finished and handed over.

Yes, it does have that new ship smell.
