Sick

We arrived at the station, ready to go. We were then told that our train was to be 1/2 an hour late. We waited and watched our train come in, and then told that it would need to be cleaned. After two hours of waiting, we moved positions and my first homie came to say hello. He was quickly joined by 23 others. The talk as usual was cricket, and as usual, I was in my element. The wives of the homies had joined Lucy and were amazed that a Western woman sat on her ass in the night time watching it grow, whilst her man was slaving in the kitchen !!! She explained that this is usual practice in the UK and Australia !!! After another 1.5 hours, our train arrived and we grabbed our economy seats. We were joined by a couple of religous freaks and two normals
The train took off and stopped a couple of times, before it was time to sleep.
We slept
Then it happened. Lucy was shaking me awake. She was about to throw up. She did. Luckily it was in the toilet
She came back and told me she was really sick, so she went back.
After three hours, she came back, and then our station came into view and it was time to get off
We found our Hilton and crashed.
Lucy felt better, so we decided to go to the zoo. We walked through the bazaar and found the Jami Mosque. It was really nice and white. Quite large as well, but we moved on as we wanted the zoo. We came out on the other side of the bazaar and asked for directions. We were told all three possible ways. That is when I realised that these homies were fucked in the head. We chose one way, and found the zoo. We paid, went in, and the first cage had domestic cats !!! There were lots of cages with feral hens and turkeys !!! There were free range dogs and plenty of eagles overhead. The sadest part was seeing the wallabies. We left, and as this is ramadam at present, I was starving, so we went to look for some dinner. We found it in the third poshest restaurant in town. The food was good, but expensive. We finished and died for the night
We slept
I awoke
I farted
Oh shit
I ran for the toilet
Was I pissing, was I shitting, it was all the same.
I finished
10 minutes, I was back
I was sick
I kept up the back and forth routine all day. I asked Lucy to shoot me, but she just laughed !!!
Eventually I slept, and the following morning, pissing out of my ass and stuff, I was determined to get out and see something. SO we jumped into a minibus and went to Uch Sharif. Home of loads of shrines. In fact, there is a pretty impressive picture of one in the LP, so we headed for it. Luckily, my ass held out and we jumped out as soon as we arrived. We walked around and found them quite quickly. The hardest being the picturesque one, but it did not stay hidden to long. Now, from in front it was great, but behind, well, there was no behind. It had been washed away in a great flood !!! Still, it was nice from in front.
We went back and decided to blow the budget and eat at the poshest restaurant in town. We found it and still spent fuck all. The proof, however was still to be seen, later on that night.
Well, I am pleased to say that I made it through safely. My ass is still funny, but now we have a two hour bus ride, as we are now headed for Multan
