Day 1.

Breakfast at the hotel restaurant to start at the beginning of day 1.


After meeting up with Jamal, the owner of Travel & Culture Services Pakistan, we headed out with Salim, our driver for today.


At our first stop, Saint Patrick's Cathedral. Open since 1881, it was quite amazing to see such a historic and ornate church in a country that is ]96% Muslim.


Next to the church was a peace mural.


A person at prayer outside the main doors. Unfortunately the church was not open to be able to see the interior.


Just in front of the church was the Monument to Christ the King, completed in 1931 and then renovated in 2013.


Again it was quite surreal to see white marble angels that would not look out of place outside a church in Europe.


A colourful and very decorated bus that were to become a common sight on my trip through Pakistan.
