Waiting at Sheraton Bandara

Last Wednesday morning, on 9 April 2008, I and the girls were picking up my husband who just got back from Umroh in Mecca. His group would be having the closing ceremony at Sheraton Bandara Hotel, near the airport, before going home. So, we just went to that hotel and waited for him there.

We got off from home at around 6.30 in the morning, in anticipation of the traffic. We got to the hotel at around 8. It turned out that the closing ceremony took a longer time than we expected. While waiting, I took the girls to look around the hotel. It was not bad at all. The swimming pool was great, with children pool also available. There was also an adequate children playground in the back of the hotel.

After the girls played for around 1 hour, they got tired. But that ceremony hadn't finished. So, since I was hungry, and the girls were also hungry, we just had Oriental breakfast at the restaurant. Their collection of breakfast meal was not so impressive, but ... it was quite OK. I could eat bread and salad, had cuppo, and girls could grab some cereals.

Finally, at around 9.30, the ceremony finished, and we went home. Welcome home, papi!
