Welcome back to Nankana, it's another day and I'm just leaving today.
I'm going to Islamabad,
and let's see what adventures happen there and I'm sitting here with my Bro.
He's invited me to sit down here
while he sells tickets and we're going to jump on this bus.
He's got me tea and water, so really really nice people here in Nankana Sahib.
And sitting beside me drinking tea,
this is the driver.
We'll eat lunch at the break together, he's already invited me.
The first thing he told me was
he loves our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, in New Zealand because
she looks after and takes care of Muslims.
Especially after the terrorist attacks.
He says that Muslims really like Jacinda Ardern.
And that's something people tell me every single day here in Pakistan whenever
I say I'm from New Zealand, so yeah, it's a nice thing.
This is our bus and this says...
and it leaves here at 10:30 a.m and it returns
it says "Raat" so midnight.
They don't usually have the signs in English here in Pakistan.
Thank you so much.
And so I've been given a special seat at the front of the bus here
and this is how people will treat you here in Pakistan generally.
You might meet some weirdos
wherever you travel, but the majority of people here will take care of you like that and make
sure you get to your destination so yeah these the driver and the guy organizing the trip will be
looking after me until they get to Rawalpindi it's really nice.
Just stopped for lunch, I'm on a bus ride from Nankana Sahib to Lahore
and the driver's
up here and he's invited me to come and have lunch so maybe we're eating in the
driver's quarters here at this very very fancy very very fancy rest stop
Yup, drivers quarters.
just other people having their lunch and their break.
So, we have,
chickpeas
chicken curry, I think.
That's what we're gonna here.
They get fed really really well, like unlimited basically.
And it's 100 rupees per person.
I thought it was free, but, no, no, 100 rupees but all you can eat with drinks as well for the drivers.
With my friends and we're eating and these guys are looking after me so well.
This is a gift to me, so thank you so much, thank you so much.
This is the kitchen in here this is where all the food is being made so they've got a restaurant out
this way and then the driver's quarters is in here.
And now this is the kind of rest stop.
There's a guy frying up kebabs out there little store to buy food.
And just so you can see everything is
available here from chocolates to all sorts of drinks.
A then behind this guy is frying up, well barbecuing.
Barbecuing chicken.
And a lot of people out here as well.
Oh, yeah, and I forgot, we're in the mountains here can you see?
This is halfway between Islamabad
and Lahore.
It's really nice out here.
So this is the kind of hospitality you're gonna find when you take a bus here and the driver knows
you're a foreigner.
Yeah really sweet, I'm gonna jump back on the bus now and the driver's gonna
order some tea, I think there's like a roaming tea seller.
All sorts of people come onto the bus during the trip, people selling different snack foods people
selling oranges if you're going through an area known for them for example.
Back on the bus.
So I've got my tea, and we're back on our way now and the drivers given me his mobile number
in case I ever need anything so yeah really sweet
