Back to Karachi!
Posted Apr 9th, 2009 at 07:51 PM by thejoke
The next morning I woke up quite early and realised I had a bad stomach. Not what I needed as I wanted to go back to Karachi by road and a bad stomach was going to be a complete hindrance. I had to book a flight back in the afternoon. It allowed me to spend some more time searching around Gwadar. What had caused my stomach upset was it the food last night or the fact that I drank water from the taps which could have had elements of seawater in it.
The flight back was another eye opener. To see the sands, cliffs and azure sea from above was just amazing. A gentle breeze appeared to be pushing the calm waters against the golden sands. We flew above the water. Any other country would have turned this into a tourists Mecca but I dont know where Pakistan had gone wrong. The opening of the Coastal Highway and the idea to turn Gwadar into a duty-free port had boosted domestic tourism here.
It was not long before we were once again over Karachi. I did wonder where we would land after all below us were a sea of houses. I hired a taxi back to my friends house. I realised that my stomach was still very bad. I was not happy. I realised I would have to miss out on an off-road expedition to the Hingol National Park, organised by an outdoor club in Karachi. I had a bad stomach, aching bones and exhausted. I spent most of the day visiting the toilet. I decided not to take any risks by travelling too far as I wanted to improve and then explore Karachi.
