My Birthday! Day Full of Exploring

Our flight back to Praha was at 1am on April 2nd. We didn't extend our room for the night of my birthday because we would be leaving the hotel at 9pm.  In the morning we had breakfast like we normally did and the waiter wanted to make waffles for us.  They were really good and it was a nice bonus for my birthday.  We went  to reception after breakfast to ask them what time would be the latest we could check out.  They told us 3pm.  We were so surprised and happy with that time.  We walked to the twin towers to take pictures and then walked around the center to buy some dates.  We went back to the hotel to get our stuff situated to check out.  We left our bags in the storage room and went back to the city.  We tried to make our way to the biggest mosque, but we arrived 15 minutes too late.  The last tour entry was just 15minutes before we got there.  It was a shame we didn't know about the timings of things. We walked around the city again and enjoyed the views.  I wanted to go to a nice place for dinner where I would enjoy the food for my birthday dinner, so we went back to a place we had already been.  We got a great dinner again, but my ankles and legs were bitten like crazy by the mosquitoes.  We walked by the water front before getting back to the hotel.  We grabbed our bags, changed our clothes and headed to the airport.  While I went to the duty free shops, Leos played some video games.  The airport in Bahrain is so impressive.  Our flight to Istanbul had a lot more people than we had before, but we still managed to each have our own row.  We had a very short layover in Istanbul.  Basically we got off the plane, went through security, rushed through the airport and boarded the flight to Prague.  The trip to Bahrain was such a nice surprise and I had a wonderful birthday.  Thank you so much Leos!!!
