 Having recently taken responsibility for looking after the Weekend a La Carte Oman destination I thought it was important to experience it first hand so over the Easter break I decided to visit. What an experience …..well actually series of experiences ; we always try to include one “Once in a lifetime experience” in any Weekend a La Carte break we offer, but in Oman
there are 3 or 4!!

Many people may think that taking a youngish child to Oman is crazy. That there will be nothing to engage them; that the drives are too long and the temperature is too hot. Hopefully the list below will persuade you otherwise. It is my 7 yr olds Daughters top 20 things to do when in Oman!

The second is visiting Juliet’s Balcony.

It was a while ago that I went to Greenland and Iceland on a combined trip, but I came across my photos the other day and it reminded me what an outstanding time we had there. I thought i would share my thoughts on some of the locations and hotels.

We have just been given the great news from our supplier in Siena that he was able to get Balcony seats on the San Martino Balcony for both July and August Palio dates. These are very in demand tickets and always sell quickly, so quite a find!
