I'm finally here! Sleep has decided to unfriend me. I'm driving everyone nuts back in the States because I've been calling crazy hours. Looking forward to exploring Bahrain and enjoying this wonderful adventure.

Thanks Kenjee.  I'm planning on doing all the tours before I start working!

Welcome to Bahrain!

The weather is great and loads of holidays, so you should be able to get all the tours in before work starts.

Let us know if you have any questions while settling down here.

Thank you mujtaba... I'll give it a go and hopefully won't get too lost. I've learned to exit before the Saudi border.  :D

I intend to get into every crack and crevice. I'm hoping not to get run off the road... Since when did the shoulder turn to a lane? Oh, and my favorite, using a hazard light before turning! Goodness!!!

Lol least they're using something!! Indicating seems a novelty here rather than norm, makes going around roundabouts rather a fun guessing game!!

Lol actually you guys should try be careful coz we have some smart drivers that really drive stupidly around , and may even turn left while the are in the far right lane , but still not all are bad drivers here , and Princessnice , if u get lost ask away here for any place u like , we will be glad to help a friend
