Alhamdulillah
We wanted to try the hajar aswad but I backed off with a couple of meters to go... Naturally pah was dissapointed. We went back to the hotel for breakfast and shut eyes. At ten pah left for the mosque and I follow suite at 11. This time I m determined to kiss the black stone. I was determined that I will kiss it and all the way I prayed to Allah that I will be permitted to.
Alhamdulillah I managed it! I contemplated that there is a lesson to be learned here and applicable to my life. And here it is; I have to be patient in getting what I want. Be persistent enough and the opportunity will come; grabbed it and there will be another opportunity comes on my way ( I even managed to hang on the kaabah door!)
After lunch, we performed umrah. Almost got conned by an arab who offered to take us to taneem for 20 riyals(a fair price).Upon reaching taneem, he requested for the money to be paid then and there! i.e for one way. I haggled my way out and only pay half the agreed price... .
We performed umrah and finished before isyak. Ohh the legs...
Day 7 in the morning I spotted one roti canai stall behind Hilton. Hmm I wonder how long it'll last.. Look what happened to syaimah area. later we went to taif and visited ibnu Abbas grave, addas mosque and also the fruits market. We visited the taif museum. Taif was also the Saudi summer capital and also the defense for mekah. In the days of the pagan, taif was famous for the souk ukkaz and the pagan idol latta.

Nabatean, anyone?
