Balik Haji

It's Friday and during the Friday mass prayer we met Ustaz who just came back from Haj. He arrived last Sunday and like every year, he brought as many pilgrims as he could. The cost of the package is comparable to what we pay back home, about 4 to 5 thousands Euros each, all inclusive. Normally Haj organisers in Holland and Germany make use of a well known European Turkish agent and this seems to be less of an issue as they are well organised and has good standing with the Saudi Haj organiser.

Today we are taking a rest back from the trip to Paris before continuing our drive tomorrow. It will be an early rise to head off to Germany. The weather has gone very cold. Hopefully it will still be managable.
