Hello my fellow travellers! I started my day early, going to the small Sabkha Bus Station where I was told that the bus to Muscat would leave from. Turned out it doesn't, it used to be possible to go this route by taking a bus from here to Hatta, on the border to Oman, and then take another bus from there to Muscat, but the bus between Hatta and Muscat no longer runs. The bus instead runs from an... Read Full Entry

A Small Swede in the Big World

I'm a small Swede that simply just love to travel. I haven't been around as much as I'd wish to yet, but my life long goal is to visit all the countries in the world. I still have a long way to go before that mission is accomplished though. I live with my two cats and one spider in Alvesta, a small city outside of Växjö where I try to host people from all over the world as often as I can. If you need a place to stay, just look me up on couchsurfing.org and send me a request. My living I make working as a insurance adviser, it's a soft job with plenty of free time.

I went to Oman some years ago and I really liked it there. Nice country, nice people and lots of interesting places to visit. Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque was one of them.

It costs nothing to smile
Great story of companionship and hospitality on the road Per-Olof. What a wonderful introduction to Oman for you. The sort of moments that you will probably cherish for years to come. When you think about it they probably arose because you are friendly and they smiled back.

Oh Man!
Sorry, I always think about that when I think about Oman! But gosh, what a journey. I used to enjoy border crossings, but I don't so much now, particularly crossing the "No Man's Land" between the two border posts. Sounds like you had some amazing people being able to help you though. I am sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing... All the best to you and your family.
