It's like the most organised and dangerous group therapy in history.
Thousands of us pelt these pillars with full force.
It's an incredible sight, unless you're a health and safety officer.
I shave my head again and remove my ikhram, changing back into my normal clothes.
Over the next few days, our journey draws to a close.
We pelt pebbles twice more and circle the Kaaba for the last time.
What a rollercoaster of a journey, with the most steps my phone has ever seen.
We're exhausted, happy and amazed we haven't all fallen out.
Family trips usually end in arguments, but this was an exception.
Maybe because we didn't have to order pizza.
Well, the coughs have gone and the blisters have healed.
But a part of me still feels like I'm in Hajj.
Still looking up at the sky in Muzdalifah.
