We travelled to Lahore yesterday (20th) and saw the Gadaffi Cricket Stadium where Pakistan play cricket (a religion here). I was ill on the bus, had the runs and was sick. TERRIBLE!! I went straight to bed and only surfaced today at 4:30.
Our last night in Pakistan was a real treat. I was well enough to go to the Wagha border crossing to see the ceremonial closing of the gates between India and Pakistan. A lot of shouting and singing from both sides and the soldiers all dressed up in dress uniform. It was a great laugh to see grown men in costume pull faces, stamp their feet at each other, flashing their guns, the whites of their teeth and also saluting! We were cheering for Pakistan as we were given places of honour on the Pakistan side. It was an amazing experience. On the way home loads of people asking us about what we think of Pakistan and who performed the best at the crossing.
