Bahrain Day #3 -- Touring the Island

The Car Park
I had a day of lounging around by the pool again, sunning, swimming and reading. I pondered, what was the use of being in a luxurious setting without close friends to share it with? When Mike returned I so wished he would be a bit more aware or more ...
Temple in the Souk
I met Claire at the Bab-al-Bahrain and we quickly spent over £700 on household necessities. Later, unwrapping everything at the flat, it was just like Christmas. I couldn’t believe the amount of things we had bought in such a short time. When ...
Nothing Quite Eventful
Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I basically woke up went to work, had my break and back to work again. The only difference was I had a lot more kids that showed up to ACEC in the afternoon. It was awesome seeing all the young faces. I posted a bunch of ...
Loved the fort
