Manama (Bahrain)

My room in the Al Dana Resort (Novotel by Accor) was great and I slept quite well.  When I met up with other members of the crew, we went out exploring.  One highlight was walking around in the Souk - the experience was a very interesting mix of cheap Chinese products and local wares. There were also lots of spices, foods and drinks from the area. Gold was plentiful, too! I didn't buy much, but I tried a candy that was really good [when I got home, the kids called them "chocolate rocks"].
