... mountain of Asia! We stay the night with a Kyrgyz family, friends of Tudajim (our guide). Nice and warm inside a house. Being at 3700m it is cold again! Our last day in china we spend most of the time on the phone with the travel agency discussing the rest of the money we have to pay! We want a discount because of we had to spend 2 days desk-hopping, something we pay them to do. In the end threats of not-leaving-the-country are used and we end up paying the whole amount, under ...

... one of the best book stores we had ever seen with a huge range of books in English. Totally absorbed in our browsing, we were approached by a softly spoken young Pakistani man. He seemed to appear from nowhere and asked us if we were tourists. In eerily low tones he warned us to be very careful in his country and told us under no circumstances should we travel to Peshawar. We told him that we had no intention of going there, given the recent suicide bombings. The man ...

Arrived Rawalpindi's Pir Wadhai bus station at arond 7.45am. It was drizzling earlier on and it was just gloomy for the whole day. Followed LP's recommendation to Simara Hotel in Sitara Market but the hotel was fulled. Probably I was too early and everyone was still sleeping.

Took a shower and ...

Gandhara under the Kushans was about the size of the Roman Empire and contemporary with it. The Kushans moved here when the Han Chinese (the people that made the Terracotta Warriors back in Xian) pushed ...

... and we were treated like royalty. We stayed in the VIP camping and got free meals there. We also got prime seats in the VIP stand to watch the matches. We were even interviewed by the press and national TV! The Polo was fantastic, much rougher than at home and the riders don\t change horses for the whole mmatch, pretty impressive when the Polo ground is at 4 200 masl! After melting in Chilas we were freezing up there at night. We hadn t planned to stay for the whole ...

... starts again. And finally ... 2nd prize in the world's most unappetizing food  competition goes to ... Pakistan. (Veteran subscribers to the Mr &amp; Mrs R  Travelling Circus will be aware of the cold sweats induced in Mr R at the mere whiff of  an Ethiopian injeera and lamb tibs.) When ordering food here, particularly of the vegetarian variety, there seems to be a national slogan: "Sir, would  you like chicken with that?" The market stalls which are piled high with ...
