« In Jeddah (again) | Main | Frequently asked questions about the pilgrimage »
Been a long and tiring day. Got to Mecca around 1pm. It's obvious Hajj season is underway. People here from every country you can imagine.
Will have to keep this brief (my laptop battery is dying). The plan is to find a power adaptor, and post a couple of proper updates tomorrow. Hoping to head out to shoot some more photos too.
Very hard to get around the city. Even walking takes 5-6x longer than usual, because of all the crowds.
Now, to sleep. At least for a bit.
