HOT HOT HOT
Deary me can it get any hotter?!
I am absolutely sweltering at 7.52pm in an apparently air conditioned hotel. We arrived in Lahore yesterday and it was defiantly the hottest it's been so far! I didn't feel too well as we arrived but we ended up changing hotels because the first one ironically named 'the grand' was appalling! It didn't even have a shower in the building. After vetoing it we moved on to another hotel (where not feeling so savoury on the drive I required a bucket) where the rooms are a lot better and so much cleaner! Being off colour I was one of the first to be allocated a room and went and sat virtually naked under the fan and air con! I stayed in the room till 11am this morning! It was heaven! And even had satellite TV so Sos and I enjoyed and evening of Baywatch and Wild Card!
Today I felt a lot better and had only one thing on my mind....swimming! (sightseeing and culture were not on the agenda!) Rach with the help on the hotel concierge found out that we could swim at the Ambassador hotel for R300 (less than 3 quid) and we've been here since midday. It's been fantastic the pool is excellent and the hotel office manager came to sit with us and brought us all a beer! The only upset was when we came to use the Internet and the guy (who wasn't working earlier) refused to let us use it (even though the manager had offered us all to stay here for free tonight!) After a little to and frowing it was sorted and Sos and I are sat here now happily typing away!
Tomorrow we go to India! Pakistan has been a challenge and I think that we are all ready to move on. In fact two have left us! Keith has left the trip completely and Dave has jumped ahead to spend some time in Nepal before doing the Mount Everest Trek. 5 more will be leaving in Delhi to also do the trek. It'll be very quiet on the truck without them! But wicked when they come back!
The heat is also getting to people. It's yet to hit 50 but is getting close! Showers seem pointless!
If you're sat there thinking I'm not happy really don't worry because I am just absolutely roasting! I think I might go back to the pool and have another swim!
Lots of love from Nicole xxxx aka sweaty Betty!
