I've already written an article about our accommodation in Lahore, but still I'd like to share you some stuff about the second-biggest Pakistani city, Lahore.
For those too lazy to read the whole post, Lahore in one pic:
Just as in Islamabad, we didn't spend much time in Lahore either. Those who read our blog from the beginning may remember that we were quite afraid of coming to Pakistan, especially because everyne, even The Ambassador told us it was dangerous. So we decided to get the 7-days transit visa for ~$40 instead of the 30-days tourist visa for about $70. We regretted that since then, we'd have happily visited Northern Pakistan and the such too. Well, next time. Anyway, for anyone coming to Pakistan we advise not to be afraid, Pakistanians won't hurt you.
During the little time we spent in Lahore we wanted to see a museum because everyone said good things about it, but it was some national holiday so everything was closed. :( Practically the only thing we found open was the zoo, so we went there :)
They see Lahore Zoo is the biggest in South Asia. Well, they can't be too big then because even the one we have in Budapest (Hungary) is bigger than this one. But we saw some funky stuff anyway, e.g. a dead lion:
And a hippo:
And we got free ice creams from the ice cream man.
We made friends with two guys from Hong-kong, and left together to India. We also met some Australians and an American girl who is brave enough to travel alone and she plans to continue to Afganistan. Well, rare bird but it exists.
And finally two funky pictures, first one is a National Geographic one with children bathing, not being afraid of bilharzia:
Second one in an almost-National Geographic one (would be better if the neck strap of my camera wasn't in the picture) about a full family in a rickshaw:
