Today we are at sea sailing towards Salalah, Oman. At 9:30 AM I went to "Good Morning Amsterdam". The guest was Buzz Sutherland, the comedian who gave the show on the previous night. He said that he played football for the University of Missouri and he was part of the team that lost to Oklahoma 62 to 0. At 10 AM I went to a talk by Kate Ross who gave a talk on The Ottomans - The Greatest Empire of the Middle East. She talked about the history of this empire that arose in the 1300s and survived into the 20th century. At 2 PM I went to a talk by Ismat Mehdi who is from India and she talked about Islam's main principles and describes sunni, shi'ite and sufi practices. In addition she explained the concept of jihad and influence of wahhabism.
Before dinner at 7 PM Cruise Specialists had a cocktail reception and after dinner the show was put on by Jacqueline Roche, a violinist.
