  1. Now it’s time for shopping and sightseeing!!!! We went to the Waagha Border between India and Pakistan on Saturday. It was an amazing spectacle where we all cheered very loudly when the Pakistani Rangers did their amusing marching ceremony. The Indian soldiers were doing the same on their side of the gates. Mrs Qureshi shook hands with an Indian gentleman over the fence….she was standing in Pakistan and he was standing in India.

  2. On Sunday we went to The Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque. These two places were built over 400 years ago in the times of The Mughals. Over 100,000 worshippers can fit in the mosque at any one time. We had a great time, especially because it was warm and sunny.

  3. Right next door to the Badshahi Mosque is the Sikh Gurdwara. We were warmly welcomed in and were given a tour of the Gurdwara. It will be interesting to compare what we saw with the Gurdwara we are going to visit in Lenton.

  4. You are probably worrying about us because we haven’t had anything to eat for a while!!! Well, don’t worry, here we are on the roof of a restaurant called Cooco’s Den. We ate quite a lot here!!! We also saw the owner of the restaurant, Mr Iqbal Hussain, an artist, giving an interview for Pakistani TV.

  5. Our last day…..we visited the famous Shalimar Gardens. This was also built in the times of the Mughals by Emperor Shah Jehan. And we ate some more…. Some Chicken Patties and Spring Rolls, some biscuits and some lovely mitai (sweets). Mmmmmm! We really relaxed in the sunshine. Mr Nazir was very happy too.

  6. After some last minute shopping we said goodbye to Mr Nazir, our driver for 10 days and then Mr Jon and Ms Lisa decided they had to have a ride in a rickshaw!!! It was past midnight and we went to a nearby shopping area called Fortress Stadium. Whilst we were there, we ate some more!!!! (chicken kebab and chips!) It was quite a bumpy ride but we got back to our hotel at around 1.30 am…..and then woke up at 6am in time for our plane ride home!
