We left Wednesday night to go to the Kingdom of Bahrain, a small country just south of us. The whole country is basically an island, with a population of less than 1.5 million. Its capital is Al Manamah. We got to our hotel by about 10ish.
On Thursday, we walked around the city a bit. We saw their World Trade Center and ended up at their souk. It would have been nice to spend more time there, but we had to get back to meet some friends. We went out for dinner and had a nice evening, all four of us.
On Friday, Jacqui and I went to a brunch at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. It was great. First we thought the price was a little steep but when we saw that everything was included (solids and liquids!); it made it quite worth it. As for the needs fulfilled, liquids were one of them, and the second one was pork. They had ham, and ribs. I almost cried when I had my first one; it had been that long. This great afternoon made for a very quiet evening, as sleep came early!
We went to the City Center on Saturday (a mall, what else), before flying back to Kuwait around dinner time. All in all, it was a very nice weekend.
