  • The Plundering of the SubcontinentIt was in talking to a particularly feisty Islamic nut in Pakistan that I was reminded of the main undercurrent perceived of the colonial legacy in these parts, essentially its economic rape, primarily at the hands of the East India Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Feb 3, 2007
  • LahoreWith the museum once again shut and the "permit" booze shop closed too, losing my beard and having a haircut was the one major achievement of the day, and an event I had long been looking forward to. It had Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Feb 2, 2007
  • Pindi to LahoreLonger and more hassle than expected, I got shoved about the bus 5 times before I made a point of using explicitly direct English as a warning to give me a break, they'd better give me an allocated seat or Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Feb 1, 2007
  • Rawalpindi and IslamabadNow short of time on my visa, I had to make a choice between either seeing Pindi and Islamabad today or the full day slog that would be necessary to take in Taxila, another major buddhist UNESCO site and reputedly Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 31, 2007
  • Mardan and Takht-i BahiI felt pretty grim upon awakening the next morning with a sore head, sore stomach and dhiorrea but unfortunately I couldnt afford to hang around. Matt had already been really sick a couple of times in the short time I Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 29, 2007
  • Carry On Up the KhyberWith some young smarmy chancer doing his best to dictate our lives at the Park Hotel, it unfortunately proved too convenient to give into the leech. We headed off on his combined tour, joined at the last minute by Mannfred Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 28, 2007
  • PeshawarFresh off the train from Lahore we struck it lucky with a room for 3 at the Park Hotel, and though Matt wasnt up to it, Alex and I headed back out the way we'd come to check out the Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 27, 2007
  • Qawwali and Sufi sessionsThursdays at the Regale Internet Inn had become an institution on the small backpacker scene in these parts, There were 2 separate live performances which though not tourist attractions per se were open to all. Beforehand however I manged to Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 25, 2007
  • LahoreBADHASHI MOSQUE Founded by Muhammed Aurangzeb Alamghir, the 6th Moghul Emperor in 1673. One of the, if not the largest mosques in the world in terms of area, it can reputedly hold 100,000 worshippers in its 529 square metre courtyard. Built Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 23, 2007
  • Multan to LahoreI slept in this morning for the uncomfortably timed 0555 Jaffer Express and should have missed it by minutes, but for once the inherent tardiness of Pakistan Railways worked in my favour, we eventually left at quarter past 7 into Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 21, 2007
  • MultanArriving in the afternoon on the frequently stopping mail train, I had the usual 3rd time lucky experience in finding a hotel room, and though Multan, a city of over a million souls was very spread out along grubby unenthusing Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 19, 2007
  • Karachi to MultanAfter 5 nights in Karachi I finally found the impetus to make a move and bought myself a ticket for the Khyber Mail overnight train to the city of Multan. A long sticky traipse out between military bases brought me Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 18, 2007
  • Day Trip to ThattaI had a late lazy start today but redeemed myself by making the effort of tracking down a bus to Thatta, a small town some 3 hours distant from the city. Half of that time was required just to fight Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 17, 2007
  • KarachiAfter at last managing to bag some beers at the Holiday Inn of all places, today my mission was to visit the Pakistan Air Force Museum, an anorak indulgence which surprisingly also featured in the guidebook and with some reason. Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 15, 2007
  • Karachi and the National Museum of PakistanHaving partially frozen on the overnight trip into Karachi again I was pretty bushed, but after the usual runaround to bag a hotel room, we all trekked out together to the National Museum of Pakistan. This was just one indicator Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 13, 2007
  • Moenjodaro and onto Larkanar Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 12, 2007
  • Sukkur to MoenjodaroI was in for a rude awakening this morning as I got another unexpected visit from the police. There to escort me to Larkana, I came to realise that whatever check out time and destination I put on the hotel Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 11, 2007
  • SukkurAfter a much needed kip I had a long trail out directed by compass through streets swarming with activity until I found my goal, the mighty Indus River. On reaching a series of major bridges the armed sentries were quick Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 10, 2007
  • Quetta to SukkurAfter 4 nights in Quetta I finally managed to drag myself away from my cosy niche, I was headed across the breadth of Pakistan to the small city of Sukkur, pronounced as in "Hey sucker!", a place I had scant Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 9, 2007
  • Quetta Day 3It took a while to track down the very impressive Geology Museum in Quetta, a massive and very professional presentation attached to the local university. Unfortunately I only arrived 10 minutes before they had arbitrarily decided to close early, so Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 7, 2007
  • QuettaSymptomatic of the relief of being in unexpectedly comfortable Quetta, I slept, watched crappy straight to video American teen flics and then treated myself to the best restaurant in town. A quite flashy joint complete with set table of sparkling Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 5, 2007
  • Crossing from Iran to PakistanI had already resolved that in spite of my continued interest, I wouldnt be taking the train the rest of the way to Quetta after all. It was a blow that consequently the last day or 2 of build up Posted by andyhay in Asia Overland 2006-2008 | Jan 4, 2007
