A traveller's reflection: 06 Kembara Ramadhan

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

Today is our rest day so after subuh prayers we slept the whole morning till noon.

In the afternoon we took a stroll along the walking streets and bought some souvenirs. Later we had an hour of therapeutic foot massage. Back in the hotel room we took a short nap till it was time to break fast.

(Roti again for iftar)

Again we had roti pisang, roti peanut butter and roti Kelapa for iftar. Tonight we performed our Tarawih prayers at Masjid Aonang Al-Munawwarah, a short driving distance from our hotel.

The grand traditional mosque has four towers, dramatic arched windows & golden onion domes.The mosque looks stunning from the outside especially at night. The prayer hall is spacious and cool. Along the Muslim Street nearby, there are many Muslim stalls selling food and drinks.

The street in front of Masjid Aonang Al-Munawwarah is known as 'Muslim Street' and is very popular in the evening hours, as it turns into a night market selling trinkets, clothes, shoes, souvenirs, fresh fruits and vegetables and delicious street food

After Tarawih prayers we walked to Jamai Halal Seafood Restaurant and bought Pad Thai and Nasi Goreng for sahur.
