Pakistan

In June my wife and I went
on our honeymoon to Pakistan.
We travelled over 4000 km in
Pakistan during the hot season, visiting the North-West Frontier
Province and the Punjab.
Our friends and family thought we were
mad!

| Our guide was Ali. Ali is from Hunza, and is an experienced mountain guide.
Most of our travel was in an air-conditioned
mini-van, driven by
Mohammed.
Ali and Tufal quickly became our
good and trusted friends.

| What an exciting trip!
Ancient bazaars in Lahore and Rawalpindi,
the dizzy heights of the Shangla and Lowari Passes,
and the 'wild west' Pakistan-Afganistan border with our
personal armed guard.
Along the way we saw Mosques,
mountains and snow, ancient history, and a culture of kindness to
strangers.

Take a
moment to look at our journey and see the wonder that is Pakistan!
