Okay, good morning everybody from Pakistan I'm so so happy to be back
0:24
This is my third time here in this beautiful country this beautiful country and I'm going to be exploring for another three weeks
0:29
around this beautiful country and I can't wait. Right now I'm heading towards Lahore
0:33
on one of the luxury buses. I arrived yesterday in Islamabad very early in the
0:38
morning and the airline actually lost our luggage but I picked up this
0:41
beautiful shawar kameez to begin this adventure. So let's take the metro to the
0:46
bus stop and then finally head to Lahore, one of my favorite cities in Pakistan
0:56
Okay, everybody, I've just arrived here in Faisalbad
1:07
This is the point where you can get local buses towards Lahore. So I'm going to try and find Faisal Movers, I think the name of the bus company is
1:14
As you can see, the area is so, so busy. So many market sellers. Wow, look at this food
1:23
Salonika. Okay, I've just made it here to the ticket booth at Faisal Movers
2:14
I travelled with them last time I went to Lahore and it was really really good. I couldn't find any timetables online so hopefully there is a bus leaving soon and yeah, I can't
2:23
wait to get to Lahore. Okay, so I just picked up executive class tickets to Lahore
2:27
I was going to go business class, but it was 3,500 rupees for two people. This came to 2,700, but it's still so amazing
2:34
So let's head to Lahore. I'm so excited. so we're about three hours into the journey towards lahore and we just stopped at a service
3:14
station so if you didn't eat before or get any drinks or anything then you can always stop and
3:18
pick it up on the way i'm just grabbing some water and a quick snack before we get to lahore

3:29
excited to get there and eat everything I possibly can the food in Lahore is amazing
3:33

4:56
okay so we've just made it into Lahore we're staying in Gullberg which is just on the
5:26
outskirts of the old city. I thought I was staying here because it's a little bit less busy than

7:18
inside it's one of the most beautiful examples of Mughal architecture that I've ever seen and
7:25
it's stunning I love it here so much it's really really hot here in Punjab and the heat actually
7:31
came about a month earlier I think it's only meant to get this hot around April but we're currently
