Cruising to Muscat’s Mina Sultan Qaboos is always an experience, the harbour really looks great from the sea.

Of course though enjoying the views it was also a sad occasion as my work giving lectures on the Clipper Odyssey (now renamed Silver Discoverer) was drawing to a close. We visited Nizwa and enjoyed not only its fort but a nearby Falaj system along with a nice lunch in the Golden Tulip.
