My other half joined our son, d-i-l and two grandsons, and are safely back. They left on 27/5,about the same time as your departure. Sadly, the atmosphere there is no longer as what it was in seventies when one could leisurely leisurely perform the tawaf, at times in just two or three circles of people.
