6th September 2006, We've reached Iraq!!
we had to wake up early today ... but i couldnt i slept till 8:30 and had breakfast in bed.
we'd reached Um Qasar (in Basra) last night but leaving the ship today
we got off the ship at about 10:00-10:30
we had to wait at the port for pretty long and there were no AC's or fans and it was realllyyyy hot! luckily some Aunty had plastic plates which we used as fans :P
it was time for namaaz and there was a mosque nearby the port so we did namaaz and sat in the bus ... to Kerbala!
its a 9 hour trip to Kerbala for Basra and plus 1 hour for stopping for namaaz etc
didnt really do anything ... i was either listening to my mp3 most of the time or sleeping ...
everyone else was sleeping too >.>
and sometime on our way we had a jashn ...
at around 9:30 we stopped at a musaafir khaana for Magrib .
in another 3 hours we were in Kerbala ... everyone was looking out of the window to get a glimpse of the Roza ..
we had to walk a looonngg way to the hotel cause they didnt allow cars or buses near the area .. it was sooo pretty the haram was all lighted up but i couldnt see the Roza properly till i was near ..
my vision was reaally blurry .. dunno why maybe cause i was sleepy or what i dont know ...
everyone was really tired and were dragging along their bags to the hotel me and Sana just picked up the random trolley bags each of us holding two.
and there our hotel was! right in front of the Haram ...
out hotel was named after one of the doors of the Haram (it was opposite that door) - 'Bab Ul Salam' :]
by about 3:00 AM we all were having our dinner (a midnight feast rather :D) and had gotten our rooms ... guess wHaTtTt? i got a room facing the Haram and whenever i would wake up in the morning i would see the Roza! <3
it took a while for everyone to have dinner ... do ghusl and get ready etc.
and by that time it was Fajr ...
what happened after this, In the next post cause it'll be the next day already :D
oh and btw my pictures are too big and the index totally goes all the way down but thats okay atleast the pics are the right size and are not stretched or anything :D
the index isnt that important anyways (i still have to add pics for this post)
