A hot sunny weekend in LPOD

Last friday, which was a weekend here in middle east, we went to The Lost Paradise of Dilmun in Al Areen. Quite a journey, say about 30mins from home. dah tu signboard tak byk. but one thing dkt sini, mmg susah nak sesat...yah..S.U.S.A.H. sebab, your surrounding adalah flat land of padang pasir. so, dari jauh lg dah nampak and jalan dia lurus jer. pasal tu kot tak byk signboard.

So after buat some cekodok for breakfast, off we went with our friends, a couple from Chennai, India. Mr&Mrs Manoj (Meera). The rates:

Entrance fee: BD13
Towel rent: BD2
Locker rent: BD2 (deposit: BD3)
Food: BD6 (for 2)

*nak convert: 1BD = RM10 (+-)

being the largest water themed park in the middle east, The Lost Paradise of Dilmun has lots to offer. but, being 4mths preggy, i can only enjoy the beach and the float ride. tu pun masa swimming dkt beach kena jaga2 sbb mamat2 arab tu mcm tak pernah jumpa air. siap ngan somersault dkt2 ngan org. tah how many times the lifeguard had to warn them. DTB was having fun with the slides etc. and he was worried that i was not having enough fun. he keep on saying "i wanna have the slide ride with you". but how la...maybe next time with MyLO.

the weather was friggin hot and dry. when the wind blows it feels like you are standing right in front of a kitchen blower or like you are standing next to the roti naan stove. so, once in a while i went to have a shower. they placed shower points at every stations. by noon, i was feeling too heaty and too tired. padahal tak buat apa2 pun. we went back home at 6pm and by then, i can feel my face was burning inside but suprisingly tak sunburnt. thanks to the sunblocks.

finally some photos..more photos in ur picasa album:

The slide for kids (Mesopomania). but the adults yang went crazy because when the 'big bucket' is fulled with water it will spilled. The adults includes Moi and DTB, twice :P


Jgn marah, even the tukang sapu pakai Crocs ok! original! semua pekerja kat sini pakai Crocs.


That is not my watch. It is the plastic watch-like entrance tag which you can load value in to pay for your towel rent, locker rent and even to pay for your food.
