Oman airways took us to Muscat. We had great seats well planned by Tim. Harsh that they make you walk through business class so you can see what you are missing. It was very busy, yes with people but more with service. Hot flannels, followed by white wine (there was a choice but that was mine) then breakfast followed by coffee. I watched Men in Black 3 then went to sleep. I had an hour and a half of fidgeting before we transferred to the next Oman plane which was not a patch on the first one but we did get curry for breakfast.
We had an hour or so to wait between flights so I sketched the planes which looked likes sharks all lined up.

We arrived in Colombo and were met by an old student of Tim's Chandana who drove us to our hotel in Colombo. Bit like Lydd airport being in London. After a swift shower Chandana took us out for dinner - guess what we had curry. I do like curry. Good thing too. We were shown a few sights through manic traffic. There seems to be no regard as to lanes. The cars, busses, bikes and tuk tuks all merrily weave in and out of each other.
A charming start to our holiday.
Blimey, for a moment there I thought you had crash landed next to The Houses of Parliament
