10th dhul-hijjah: day 3 (cot'd again...)


this is the roof of the great mosque when we did our tawaaf-e-ziyaarah. it seems relatively quiet but this is at 12:45am and the reason people are doing their tawaafs on the roof is because both the ground floor and middle floor are rammed to the rafters!

we head back to mina soon. have to be there before fajr which is at about 5:30am.

haven't sat down to rest for more than 20 minutes at a time today and been on the go since 4am this morning. feels good to be back in normal clothes though. now we can dress appropriately to the weather. i'm afraid to sleep in case i can't get up! it's exhausting but i guess i was warned: hajj is no holiday!
