Kimi’s Done His Umrah

The Kaabah in the evening sun

Kimi has done his Umrah or minor pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Mecca. Good for him.

I first went there back in 1998 during Ramadhan…during which I completed 7 umrahs. The another 7 umrahs the next year, before I went sabbatical in 2000.

In 2001 I did my Haj. I did the Ifrad Haj. When I was there in Mecca after the Haj, Formula One was at Sepang…it was rainy at Sepang then, and I saw the Mir space station re-entered earth’s atmosphere and break up before plunging into the South Pacific Ocean.

I also climbed Jabal Nur and went into the Hira’ Cave.
