Spent the weekend in the country of Bahrain. It is an hour drive across the King Fahd Causeway. The causeway is over 15 miles long and is made up of five bridges.
The main activity for the weekend trip was to attend the brunch at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Brunch is from noon to 4pm. Brunch includes all you can eat food and open bar. This is the go to place for expats living in Saudi Arabia. Food selection was enormous with sushi, steak, pork, salad bar and a large selection of desserts. Bars had a selection of cocktails, beer,wine and champagne. At 2 pm the live band started playing in the main party room. The waiters never let our drinks get even close to empty.
The band played 80’s music. Dance music was played in between sets. The dance floor was always packed. Check out the two guys in red missing out on the show.
At 4 pm food and alcohol is no longer served, but you are allowed to finish the food and alcohol you have at your table. The last 30 minutes the waiters kept asking us if we wanted more drinks and we kept saying no since we hadn’t finished the drinks we had. Turns out the brunch veterans start stacking drinks to continue drinking for free. Some people had 3 beers lined up.
The band was called the Tribe. We got a picture with the band at the end of the brunch.
