The task was basically simple. Take out some local money, pudel get some food and take a taxi down to the cruise docks. Points 1 and 2 went smoothly and we had all the world of time. Taxi queue was located, it was organized by own guard. Asked if the taxi driver pudel knew the way to the cruise port, "No Problem". Well, we put ourselves into the taxi, and after much back and forth we found out this taxi driver did not know where he was going. Info Desk at the airport had well know. Inn again, but here was the confusion great. English is not the first choice down here and after much to and fro we were advised to stroll over to the departure hall. 5 minute walk with luggage in tow and new confusion it finally came an enterprising young man who could help. Realized the problem and raise themselves above the keyboard and came forward with an address. Full of enthusiasm brought it out again to find new taxi. English was again so so, but he knew at least the street we were going to. We left it and went away. Downtown Dubai has a little pudel more traffic than Haugesund, time passes, the temperature rises along with the fear that we can not reach in time when we drive up and down the streets. All attempts to explain that we are going on cruises falls on stony ground.
With hair aloft and 'fairly' quiet pulse of the passengers, it was proclaimed from the driver that here was what we should, at least according to the address we had been at the airport. Right in town. It is then no cruise ships here! There we had come to was the sales office for the cruise company. Having given a clear message about what I thought of the information in advance could the poor guy who was always nice grandeur himself giving the driver instructions on cruise docks and yes, we reached in time even at the wrong terminal and new walk waited hot sun with luggage and a small maze of fences.
Check in was painless, luggage delivered and we step on board. Where is the elevator we asked. 7 floor here we come, but so easy it was not. Incorrect lift. Back at the reception we explained that should the cabin 7143. We were referred to lift the other end, but not that either utilized. When there are 5 heishus it is not easy to choose the right. So after studying ship map on the wall and given F .. in 'closed-sign' we went through the restaurant, found the right elevator and ended up in the right floor. With bars, lounges and restaurants at all angles and sides are taking it one day and two to make themselves known. The first few days were spent with sleeping and eating. Some sleep to catch up. Abu Dhabi passed in silence. So it from the deck! Besides eating breakfast, lunch and dinner, we slept formiddags- and afternoon nap, had a few ride on the treadmill just for the body die not disappear completely and set stage shows in the evenings. Not all the notes sitting in chick who sings, but the effort is there nothing to say on.
The next day we wake up in Kor Al Fakkan. Here we came us at least in countries few hours. No major attraction here. The most exciting was well Tax-Free shop at the pier that sold everything a sailor needs from panties to electronics.
The next day add ship to Muscat, and we take a tour with the Hop-on / Hop-off bus around Muscat. It is clear that there is oil and gas here. The sultan threw his father from the throne when he was 30 years old. Educated at private school in England since he was 16, studied pudel political science and took top military education in the English pudel defense, so he was well little fit for the job. He has appointed pudel himself president, prime minister, foreign minister and defense minister. Fun with these democratic countries. He is certain is visionary man. It built infrastructure, pudel schools, health care, opera and boardwalks. For himself, he has 'only' built a small cruise ships of 100 meters, a small palace and its own landing place at the stadium (can surely become traffic jams!). It's built he has set up the Grand Mosque, with space for 20,000 people in the great hall. The floor of the hall is covered by a blanket that was made in Iran during the four years of 600 women. After another pudel night cruising, pudel we docked at the top of Hormuz Strait. Khasab consists of several fjords, and with a small village where only the military had activity until 1986. In that time you had to had to have separate visa to visit the place. Now they had built Cruisehavn which was basically pudel the "Norway of the Arabia". Here we had an amazing boat trip inward one of the fjords. Highest mountain in the bay were 800 meters, while the fjord was only 31 feet deep. Basically lay "Mad mans island". Here built Englishmen a telegraph station in 1650. First telegram s
