The time in Oman flew by - we thought perhaps that four days would not be enough - but it gave us a good feel for how the country had progressed. As we reflected the capital area had changed out of all recognition - the road we had ambled down to the local supermarket on was now a three lane road with nose to tail traffic. The local people we chatted with were uniformly positive about the changes - the wealth was clearly being spread and the head-man up on Jebel Akhdar who now had a surfaced road to his door rather than 50 kms of dirt track could not have been more positively effusive about the Sultan. So good memories and a good return.
Bangalore in contrast was a new place for us. The airport was as modern as they come and rather than the usual scrum of hundreds of people fighting to carry our bags there was just a man from the hotel with a taxi so it was all very easy. An evening in the hotel gave us chance to catch up a little - laundry surrounds the bathroom which will be a surprise for the guy who cleans the room tomorrow!
