Day 1 (26th Oct) : Amazing Turkey !

Day 1 : KL - Bahrain

We had to be ready at KLIA at 8.00am before departure to Bahrain at 10.40am. Unfortunately, being informed by Rizal from POTO Travel that the flight delayed about 4 hours and will be depart at 2.50 pm. Fuhhh....lama tu!!! So we were given free breakfast at KLIA.

On board Gulf Airlines. Unbelievable, I find myself on Gulf Air on my way to Bahrain. This will be a momentous journey in my life, one that is unforgettable. Always had my eyes on Turkey and finally i am travelling that bit closer to make my dream a reality. This is my third time for long journey abroad by flight after China and Saudi Arabia while performing my umrah few years ago.

We arrived Bahrain International Airport around 5.45 pm local time. Approximately 7 hours journey. Will be staying overnite here before we head off to Istanbul the next day. We stayed at Bahrain International Hotel. By the time we reached the hotel, it was late evening, so that it was not the time to do much on sight seeing and photo snapping.

just arrived at Bahrain International Airport..... so tired the bed room....nice

On route, I see Bahrain is a beautiful kingdom typical of Arab countries Middle East. Get headache with coach services at the airport. We had to wait for transport about 2 hours to pick up us to hotel. Rizal POTO Travel said "kena banyak bersabar dengan kerenah org Arab di Bahrain" and its true as what he said. Alhamdulillah, our tour leader, Haji Othman seemed to handle the tour smoothly.
