Afternoon High Tea

As promised, Peter took a group of us out for afternoon tea at the Al Bustan Palace Hotel.
This place is the only 6 star hotel in Oman, it was originally built for Sultan Qaboos as a palace, but he had it converted into an hotel.
I suppose he had enough palaces already, lol.
The hotel is located right on its own beach, and has an infinity pool, that when in the pool it looks like it flows directly into the sea.
It really is a beautiful place.
The afternoon high tea was great and a lovely experience, with dainty smoked salmon sandwiches along with caviar and things.
They served us English scones, with jam and cream, and some really cool chocolate cakes decorated with real gold leaf.
It was a brilliant afternoon, and a treat not only for the ten passengers Peter had invited, but also the three staff Monet, Adriana and Stokely who were invited also.
It gave them a chance to get out of uniform and kick back and relax with the passengers.
As I've said before Peters management style is different and it works perfectly, as his staff all love him, and consequently give their best, and us as passengers reap the rewards.Read more
