Costa Toscana Postcard #5 – Muscat, Oman

Well the forecast wasn’t great and we awoke to heavy rain this morning, I was partially aware of it pouring down during the night too it wasn’t just a shower. 

 

At about 10:15 the rain stopped so we went up to deck 18 and walked a few circuits.

 

By 11:00 it was clear and warm enough to sit out in so that is what we did until lunchtime when as creatures of habit we went to L’Oliveto for a bite to eat. With Nicole being vegan, it’s almost like being a minor celebrity whenever we enter any dining room. Instantly recognised and directed to the appropriate area and table.  It was still overcast in the afternoon but warm enough to sit outside so that is what we did until the clouds and some light drizzle forced us undercover. There was nothing up on deck 18 to provide cover but we did find somewhere on the Infinity Deck with beds so stayed there until sailaway.  We made our way back to the cabin as the ship was reversing in the harbour so we could take advantage of being on the right side for photographing the Muttrah Incense Burner. 

After dinner, we made our way to the theatre to watch Quantum XXL in “State of Shock” which was a homage to Michael Jackson. The choreography was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

After that finished, we moved swiftly to the Colosseo to watch “Leonardo The Genius”, again another absolutely stunning production. 

We essentially have a sea day tomorrow as we make our way to Abu Dhabi with an estimated arrival time of 6:30pm. The weather forecast isn’t great but as long as it is dry and we can sit outside, all will be good.
