My final observations
Well my time is drawing to a close in Bahrain. As the sun sets on the Souq and the veil of night draws over Caroline's pool I will leave you with my final observations about Bahrain and my experience in the land that time forgot.

Bahrain Day #3 -- Touring the Island
... the immigration and customs stations for each nation. There are also two tall observation towers, one on each side of the border. The Bahrain tower also contains a restaurant and souvenir shop. (Not sure what all is in the Saudi tower since I did not have a visa to cross to that side of the line).
After walking along the waterfront as far as I could go, I then took the elevator up to the top of the Bahrain lookout, which cost 500 fills ($1.33). ...
