Bus Journey Hyderabad To Karachi And Accomodation In Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰

[@jameshyndman7096]

Hi Richy,I was in Nepal for 5 weeks in 1994.Dont be so hard on the locals,it is a very poor country,so they do their best to make a Bob or two and if that means asking you 20 times,they will😅.Hope you are safe,guess you are running 5-7 days behind with the vloggs,seen some horrific floods there now.😱.Back to Thailand next?Don't forget even a budget traveller has to splash out once in a while😂😂Life's too short.Great vid,safe travels.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thanks James, no I’m only a few days in front mate. There was one day of full on rain and then it was really nice the next and it cleared up. I understand there are a lot of poor people here but at this moment in time I’d had as you know 20/30 times a day of the same sales pitch, hi where are from? Then a five minute conversation with the inevitable finish, it just got to much I really wanted to talk to people but then it was a conversation that leads to wanting money. I’m sure you understand it can test your patience at times. Most people ignore them but I did really try👍🏻

[@JuneOyston]

Been in Tunisia Hammamet for 6 days nightmare going for a walk out of the complex. Continually harrased not for me supposed to be better in different areas some men so bloody rude. Managed to watch this vlog all the way through really good. The whole police situation says a lot i think, im pleased you've left its of your bucket list well done😊

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thank you June, my mam used to go to Tunisia a lot but it’s never really appealed to me. Some places you don’t get a good feel for and that sounds like one of them unfortunately😊

[@gregorythomasfitness]

Morning Richy! I'm back and a lot of videos to catch up on as I've been away for a bit. How come they gave you a police escort for travelling and breakfast??! Had you been in some sort of trouble? They didn't have the meter going and charge you either?? 🤣 I'm sort of watching this waiting for someone to hijack the bus!! I can't believe you are still rocking the bucket hat. I remember you talking about getting a new hat ages ago. Mate, hope all is well wherever you are while I catch up on your adventures.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Hi Greg, good to see your back mate I hope all is well. Unfortunately the police were assigned for my protection which I couldn’t refuse. That was the straw that broke the camels back I had to leave I couldn’t vlog freely. I’m in Nepal at the minute and it’s great here, I’m planning my next move currently😎

[@LemonAde_555]

I enjoy your Vlogs immensely and love following your journeys. I went to Pakistan 30 years ago for six weeks, I don’t know if you have time in your itinerary but if you do go up north to Murray in the Himalayas. My mother was born there even though I am English, my grandad was a captain in British intelligence during the raj and my mother was born there. It is absolutely amazingly beautiful, a funny story, after the end of the raj they flew women and children out but abled bodied men had to walk out through Burma. My grandad was one of those, he contracted cholera and they left him for dead in Burma. Two years later on he turned up on the doorstep! I’m sure there are lots of similar stories from that time. Stay safe, my brother and enjoy your travels.

[@ParkinsonRaw]

Thanks Ade, that’s a great story mate and what a family history in Asia. I will be going to the Himalayas but not in Pakistan unfortunately. Hopefully I’ll be back in the future to explore the north. Today’s vlog will show where I end up.

Only just watch 10mins so far my friend as here it as gone past midnight and i will be watching the redt later today. So there is area you are not allow in that very interesting thst is and a shame as that hotel you was stsying in look not great and a police escort well there must of thought you was a vip 😅 but on the other hand maybe it shows it was not a safe place to be glad to see you are going back to stsrt of journey. Keep safe and as i not yet watch the rest try and get a visa for India

[@BrainCaseSugaryGoodness]

My god Hyderabad was certainly worse than expected to the point the police considered you needed an escort to be safe there! I think I'll write that one off as not a tourist destination then🤣 You were lucky you didn't hurt your your leg as a friend of mine did the same in Thailand and spent the next month going to a clinic every day to dress his wounds. So I assume you haven't got yourself a visa for India yet as you were planning on staying in Pakistan. I think your best bet would be to fly to the Nepal as you can get a Visa on arrival there at the airport. Would be a beautiful contrast to dare I say it the sh1t holes you have visited in Pakistan, but hey someone had to go there to show how bad it is! Cheers buddy and safe travels, onwards and upwards
