Lama blog nih berhabuk:) Maklumlah...ada tetamu di rumah... Kekeke! Btw, my parents were here for only 3 weeks, so we had to plan their itinerary carefully. Dah la anak dia tak boleh drive kan. Nak pergi mana2 pun kena tunggu menantu balik atau naik bus compound jalan2.
Since kitorang nak kena ambik passport kat embassy in Riyadh, we decided to postpone until they are here. Dapatlah tengok tempat lain dari kampung yang kitorg duduk tuh.
The journey took us close to 5 hrs. Lama skit sebab bawak dua orang budak yg tak reti nak duduk diam dalam kereta lama-lama since sepanjang jalan, cuma nampak pasir!
Rest stop sini memang sedih. Cuma ada surau, mini market, petrol pump & restoran yg cater mostly for truck driver. Toilet nya, agak teruk. Ada sekali Alya sampai termuntah sebab kotor sangat tapi terpaksa masuk sebab dah tak tahan nak pee:(
Nih la rupa most of the rest stops. Btw, there's one good R&R closer to Riyadh. Yang tu ada Burger King, Baskin Robbin & few other restaurants. Punyalah happy bila dah sampai situ, lupa nak ambik gambar:)
Alhamdullillah, the apartment we booked was decent & has a kitchen with all the appliances. Tapi sesat barat cari sebab cordinate yg dibagi salah. We rented an apartment with 3 bedroom at Al-Janaderia 7. It was quite a good deal for SAR500 per night. Tapi kalau tak der transport, jauh juga dari mall & kedailah.
Agenda pertama, pagi2 pergi Embassy. It is situated at the Diplomatic Quarters. Dengarnya expat mat salleh kat Riyadh suka duk sini since tak yah pakai abaya dalam area & they have more freedom:)
One thing I like here is there's a lot of parks. The kids love it too. Sudahnya, tengahari buta dorang duk main kat playground:)
The park is beautiful, siap ada bunga raya:)
Since it was getting hotter, we decided to go to the Kingdom Mall. Budak2 ni & bapaknya pergi naik Kingdom Tower, orang pompuan pergi tawaf kedai masa nih:) Kata diorang tak der sapa pun atas tuh. So, budak2 ni buat macam rumah sendiri, panjat merata-rata. kekeke!
The view from the top. Tak berapa clear & dusty sebab minggu tuh banyak kali sandstorm.
The next day, we went to the Musmak Castle...continue Part 2 plak la...hehehe... nak kena buat laundry yg menimbun tuh. Berjalan memang best, bila balik kena buat laundry tuh yg tak best:)
