Hajj 2010 (Day One-Part 2) Jeddah to Aziziah

Musollah in Jeddah
Area where i get them to stamp my passport

Waiting in Jeddah International Haj Airport

12 November 2010 (Friday) - Saudi Arabia's date
Due to time different as Saudi Arabia is behind 6 hours of Singapore Time. Anyway reached Jeddah International Airport (specially operated during Haj) the day is already dark. The waiting time is really way too long to wait, but we have no other choice but to keep on waiting in the waiting area before we managed to get to check our passport. Upon found my luggage another waiting game to go through...where they have to check and take some documents from our passport. Now is the waiting game started...we prayed Maghrib and Isyak at the moushollah. Waited for the bus which will bring us to Makkah, and after waiting for long period of time we boarded the bus and the waiting continue...where I fall asleep and woke up and still in the bus waiting (for what? i dont know). It was not comfortable to be in the bus as there is no leg room in my seat, but what to do? bear with it and continue waiting.
At a stop, we were given Zam Zam Water, where i quenched my thirst. Another stop we were given a blue rubber bracelet for identification when we in Mina. Lost count of number of stops we made while travelling to Aziziah (one of a town in Makkah).
Reached Aziziah almost Subuh prayer.
