bike ride

day 2
after i got my visa in the afternoon, one of my roomies asked me to go out. we decided to tour on a bike. you can rent bicycles on designated bike stations for dhs5 each per hour. they are different types of bikes but we chose the mountain bike since we're going outside the bike road.

there are designated two lane bike roads around kish island. it usually situated near the shore. the roads are well lit (by seeing a lot of lightposts on the sides), paved and well-guided. if you have the energy, you can tour around the island in a day seeing different sights. unfortunately for us, we're not physically fit for the task. we just covered one fourth of the island's bike path.

while on travel, i accidentally broke the bike stand. good thing when i returned to the owner and told to what happened, he just ignored. in return i gave him pictures. we went back to the hotel, have some snack, shower then rest for the evening walk.
