We arrived late to meet Gran and she escorted us to the tents where her family was - again another hike up a shere cliff!
Two babies born after the earthquake had know nothing but living in a tent. They were well though.
Later that day after missing helicopter rides - driving up here and down there we arrived at a village where the Armed Forces Chief was visiting. The Brit Major had been invited too so we tagged along with him.
Now when you are a Chief of Staff your toilet facilites must always be just so…
So we discovered!
After the ceremony we were very cruel and bagged a ride back to Islamabad in his chopper and let the driver and fixer make their own way with most of the kit.
Chaide happy not to be squashed in the back of a 4x4.
Alex ear wigging on the flight crew’s conversation - no doubt something in French about “its those two who forgot their equipment again".
Me and the Major.
Flying as the sunset was spectacular, and we just made it before nightfall.
After two days of editing, arguing with and changing hotels, we do a live with the Head of NATO forces, a Brit AirComm in the grounds of the Serena - a very nice hotel indeed.
I must write these sooner as impressions have faded - it was a long couple of days but worth it. Good pictures.
