Re: Going to Pakistan
Hi Amelie, Thank you for the suggestion, I've just been searching on all topics and I think I have a better idea now. If anyone is interested:
Travel to Lahore:
1. Book a Daewoo from Rawalpindi to Lahore which takes around 4.5 hours(although still not sure if need to book it in advance) OR second option is a train from Rawalpindi to lahore which takes approx 4 hours (no idea about cost for first class and whether seats need to be booked in advance, so if someone can help me out)
Staying In Lahore:
2. Hotels in Lahore, probably Amer Hotel and visit Jehangir tomb, Shalimar Gardensthe Fort and Badhsahi Masjid. In the eevening get a taxi to take us to Anarkali Bazaar and if we can still do it, see Minaar-e-Pakistan in the evening. and End the day with dinner somewhere (tips on where to eat would be nice).
Next day stay at some other hotel Ambassador next to the Railway station, or Hotal Sunfort ?) and get something to eat from somewhere in Gulberg (tips once again would be nice)
Places to go (no idea where they are geographically in lahore yet, so in no particular order):
Wagah Border
Masjid Wazir Khan
Anarkali Tomb
Sozo Water Park (unsure, I've read a previous comment about infestation and therefore maynot take such a risk with a 5 year old)
Lahore Museum
Lahore Zoo
and shopping:
Panorama Shopping Centre
Liberty Market
Pace Shopping Plaza
Now turning to Karachi... I'm still researching...I'll be back
:D
