Susurros somnolientos' Guestbook

A reminder...
I'm not a birder (or at least I wasn't until I took my brother and his wife - both keen ornithologists - to India last year!), but I now know that this bird, commonly seen throughout the Indian sub-continent, is a Red Wattled Lapwing.

Germany?!
I hadn't realised until now that you are from Germany... you should come to Mallorca then!! ;)

You always make me laugh
Bloody dolphins..and bloody Russians!

I liked the flight critique...
...as far as I'm concerned the more detail to help me live vicariously through a blog, the better! Looking forward to reading your impressions of the north.

I like your honesty. Well done.

Locust capitalism
You've made me laugh with your description. Two sides to every city and the flashy side that Dubai likes to present is a bit of a circus. Baskin Robbins is no gimmick with Shane...more an undying passion. Glad you got to meet and have fun in Oman.

Thank God...
"I've come to the conclusion that if Dubai impresses you there must be something fundamentally wrong with you." Finally, someone else has said it! I've never actually been to Dubai, as from what I've seen in the media and heard from others, I imagine I'd absolutely hate it, so it's great to hear this confirmed by someone who's actually visited. I've done the Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong malls, but these Dubai ones seem altogether on a different level for overpriced useless tat. Thanks for writing about them so succinctly and saving me the bother of making the trip myself (unless I want to say hello to Shane myself, of course!).

One of my 2013 highlights
Having read and commented on your blogs for years, it was great to finally meet one of my favourite bloggers. It was enjoyable to share stories, consume tasty vegetarian food and savour Baskin Robbins ice-cream (with dishevelled hair). You are not a fan of Dubai, but I particularly like it - and at least I was able to show you parts of the city away from the shopping malls. Hope to meet again in 2014!

A comprehensive blog on a hot adventure!
So impressed with your experiences in Oman - the forts, scenery and even that eeire sink-hole (yes, some places do have a very uncomfortable ambience. I've not seen any of the sights you listed here and they all look worthy of a couple of weeks - but in cooler weather. You should have shared some food with camel that came sneaking from behind, I'm sure it was only trying to be hospitable and considerate in approaching you so quietly.
