The journey home.

We came back from Jubail earlier today, around 7 am, and what a journey that was.

You see, we had gone to this wedding - which I think Muhammad has already written about - which started at 9 pm, and went on until very late. In fact, beyond the working hours of most clocks, so I'm not sure what time we finished.

The journey home began strait from the wedding palace. We drove in a very dark, starless, and dusty night, mile after mile. Like most car journeys, it was boring - masterly understatement -, that is until we got lost, then it became more and more scary.

What happened was that this highway we were on didn't have many road signs, and so when we came to a fork in the road - where the road splits and you can take either of two directions - there was no sign telling you which road led where. Anyway, Abi just guessed, and soon we were on a dark road with hardly any cars, and after maybe 40 kilometres the road signs said : road to Bahrain. haha. ( bahrain is another country by the way ).

Well, alhamdulillah we found a U-turn, and now, obviously, I'm back in Riyadh. The entire journey was around 600 km due to the unfortunate detour, and I've now slept around five hours in my cosy bed. haha.

but the most crazy thing is that us boys are now going off to some friends to play football and swim inshallah.
