We left a terrible guide in Pakistan (he rejected our tip in the hope of getting a bigger one and then took it back when he didn't) to meet two wonderful ones in Pakistan. Pakistan is amazing; we literally crossed the border, stripped off our mantors (I do NOT recomend wearing a t shirt under a mantor in the middle of the desert btw but at least we got out of them sooner), got onto two small and wonderfully air conditioned buses, met our two lovely guides Bilal and Amjad, stopped for samosas and soft drinks before we had gone five minutes and basically completely failed to get bored for the eleven hour drive.

There was a slight downpoint when I woke up without realising I'd been asleep to find all the curtains closed (so that snipers couldn't see in!) and everyone talking about men with machine guns sitting on the side of the road. It was okay though, because the armed men were on our side. They were there to keep away the bandits.

PS. Mum and Dad and anyone else who cares: do not worry, because nothing bad happened and I'm through there now.
