DAY 01 August 4th 1999
At last we were off for the airport, as usual we were late, but this time it wasn't me, Arsalan came late. On our way to the airport, police stopped us for inspection but as Raheem (driver) was there it wasn't any problem. We picked Fahad and reached airport at 12.30 p.m.The flight was great fun .At last we were at the Lahore Airport. And to our surprise Salman was there to pick us up. Arsalan went with his relatives and Fahad went with Salman. Maamu and Saibi were there to pick me. It was then the first part of our adventure began. On our way to home we ran out of fuel and had to stand there for almost 1 hour in the killing sun. After we were home I had the taste of real hot whether. We spent the whole day in the house, as Habib was sick. At night I met Saibi's friend Usman. At first he looked like a dumb guy to me and then after he left we watched 2 movies and had beer. At about 2:00 am Hasan came and then we had a lot of fun, he slept at Saibi's place with us.
DAY 02 August 5th 1999
After we woke up we started making plans to leave for Naran & Kaghan. At last it was decided that we would all gather at the Butt sweets on Wahdat Road & then at 11 p.m take a bus to Mansera. When we were packing our stuff Fahad (LOTA) & Salman were not agreeing to take jackets with them as it was really hot in Lahore & they were making fun of me & Saibi.After a long waiting at the bus stop we started our journey .The bus was very comfortable at least much more than my expectations. We had a lot of fun in the bus .We were like a pain in the neck for the other passengers.
DAY 03 August 6th 1999
The best part of it was when we were all sleeping and the bus stopped at Hasan Abdal.Usman woke up every body and started saying that we have reached Mansera. Sameer & Salman woke up, took up their bags and almost got of the bus as all the other passengers started laughing they understood that there was something wrong so they came back and sat on their seats. Motorway was very beautiful. There was greenery on both sides of the road .At about 5:30 am we were in Abbotabad, it was really very beautiful. Specially the Kakool air base and the Ayub city hospital .All the road from Abbotabad to Mansera was very beautiful There was so much greenery that it look like a big park or something which I had seen only in movies .At last at 7:30a.m we were at Mansera . We unloaded all over stuff and were in search of any good snack bar for our nashta but we ended up in a dhaba (a very small shop) |
