Hooray- a Pakistan blog
Hi Fraggles I am delighted to see you have a Pakistan trip! I followed your Tajikistan blog (as well as Dancing Dave's and the Binkleys) when I went last year and this year I am off to Pakistan. I have just read your first Lahore entry and wonder which hotel that you used? I'm a 54 yr old Australian woman and have managed to entic my friend, Mary, along this time. Looking forward to the next episodes. Gill

Hi Gill, thanks for dropping us a note. In Lahore we stayed at the Rose Palace Hotel. It is a stunning part of the world and Pakistan is an amazing place, I'd love to go back and spend longer there, particularly in the northern areas there is just so much incredible scenery to explore. Have a fantastic time
