Two Signs in Bahrain

Today Alison and I decided to drive around the bottom two thirds of the island. Not the whole two thirds - really just the area along the eastern coast of the lower half (but being on the eastern coast is really the same as saying we were on the eastern half of the island). We drove down on one of the highways, took a look at one of the ridiculous resorts that's being built, and drove back up through some of the villages.

On the way down, there is a turn off on the high way. Not an exit, per se, but just a turn off. There were two signs on the turn off warning people away. Here the first as you drive along the road (click to enlarge).


To be honest, the picture of large bombs is more of an incentive to go find something interesting. Good thing they had another sign clearly stating what they wanted people to do. You'd think that they would put this next one first and just leave it at that (again, click to enlarge).


Fortunately, the two signs are right next to each other, so we didn't go too far before we turned around. At some point, I will upload some of the really neat photos we were able to take while driving around and title it: "Things you would see if you came out and visited us."
