In this video we enter Pakistan! We have preconceived ideas of what it will be like (we blame the media) but it is nothing like we thought it was going to be.

This is the 8th country that we have visited on this around the world motorcycle trip. And we noticed a difference from family and friends back home. There were a few more "be careful" kind of messages coming our way. But we have heard from other travellers that the Pakistani people are very hospitable and generous to tourists!

And we were not disappointed. You will see in this video how incredibly nice everyone we encounter are. From random civilians running over to help pick up your bike after you accidentally drop it, being waved down on the street and offered food or a place to stay, to the police at checkpoints greeting you with big smiles. Everyone is not only excited to see you, but excited to show you their beautiful country.

We enter Pakistan from the Wagah border and head past Lahore to go visit a friend we met on Facebook who lives in Jaranwala. We are treated to a small glimpse of how the locals live and work and it blew us away. From there we head up to Islamabad where Jay is bed ridden for a few days. Then we head north into the mountains, and it just gets more and more beautiful.

This will be one of a few parts to our Pakistan leg of this overland trip as there was just too much goodness to fit into a single video

Stay tuned for the next part where we make it to the Kalash Valley for a once in a year local festival.
