The Bahrain Trip - Day 3

This was the quietest day of my trip though not a waste. I didn't do much on this day. I went to one of the older markets of Bahrain, in the heart of Manama, in a Jewelery shop to try and buy a Bahrain Pearl. The market reminded me of the market outside Goregaon station. It was a kind that I detest to go to. After an early success with shopping, I escaped to a nearby Indian eatery, and much to my surprise, read a menu card that had Vada Paav, Sabu Dana Vada, etc. printed on it. I ate some random stuff and came back home.

In the evening, me and my uncle went to Marina beach, the most frequented beach in Bahrain. The evening had almost grown into a night by the time we reached the place and the breeze was rather fast and cold. I regretted not carrying my jacket along and preferred to move away from the beach shortly after my uncle told me how the beach was when he moved to Bahrain 23 years ago and how it has changed over time. There was a pleasant green lawn in front of the beach that tempted me to sit there for a while but a rather cold breeze killed my wish.

Me and my uncle then went to eat at Jasmis. Jasmis is a junk food restaurant and belongs to the league of McDonalds, KFC and Burger King. The Chicken burger was pretty alright though I thought I'd prefer KFC. I believe, Jasmis is an international chain limited to the middle eastern countries. The best part about this short drive was the conversations that I had with my uncle about various things.

Day 3 ended early as I had to wake up quite early the next morning since we had planned a long journey fo day 4.

people have gone to enjoy great and unique American cuisine with a special brand of Irish hospitality, spend time with friends or just to enjoy

the relaxing, yet upbeat atmosphere.
