After almost three months here, I have been accorded a break. A long weekend in the mountains, in a high-altitude hill station, not too far from Islamabad. There isn't much to do there, but I have been horse riding in the woods and eating locals food in restaurants, what a novelty! The climate is chilly and all the leaves are shaded red and brown.What freedom to walk freely in the streets, bargain with the shopkeepers and say hello to strangers on the street. It has unearthed my love of travel and made me want to see more of this country as a tourist. Next stop, Karokam Highway?!
Aaah...beautiful pakistani countryside. Undulating hillside dotted with pine trees. Horses grazing peacefully. And an empty Coca Cola in the foreground. Nature at its best.
