Islamabad Serena Hotel

Since my last web log touchdown in Bishkek, we crossed into Pakistan by now. We came back from our little tour to the mountains with Emilio and Maria, horse riding and staying overnight in a yurt at Song köl lake. Back in Bishkek again we visit the Chinese embassy hoping to get our final visa! This time not queuing up at 07.00, but arriving after breakfast at 10.30.

... to Rawelpindi which is only a 20 minute drive away, and the differences are mainly because the city is so new - about 40 years old.

Going to Rawalpindi tomorrow. The only reason I want to go there is to see the truck workshop.

... branches came from the same Asiatic nomads. This branch of about 50,000 families headed to south Asia where they swept through Taxila burning and destroying everything in their way.

... who were stuck behind him tried everything to free it, even tried to tow it out but the rope snapped. It was time for the last resort. A family of 6 fat Pizza Hut eating Punjabis decided that they would have to get out of the back of the jeep! They declined to help, preffering to stand and watch and moan about getting their shoes muddy whilst complete strangers did the dirty work for them and got the jeep out of the mud. While all this was unfolding, our driver decided to ...

... fecklessness back into their  game. Ultimately losing on the last day - failing to chase a total that the  Leeds Uni Women's Cricket Club would have knocked off without a flutter of an  eyelash. And then on to Faisalabad - a dusty town 200km west of Lahore. Again,  England managed to put the feck into ___lessness and were lucky to get a draw  out of the game. The most excitement was to be had on Day 3 on the boundary  at extra cover - around 100m to the right of ...
