Day 28 (Multan)

Not much to report from today – again another LONG drive day to get us from Sukkur to Multan. The most exciting part of the trip was having our armed escort increase to 4 truck loads of armed guards by the time we pulled in to our hotel. There were guards posted all over the hotel with one sniper guy on the roof. They went to the extent of closing the road outside the hotel (it backed on to the river so nothing behind us) which was weird.

Amjad arranged for a masseur and henna lady to come to the hotel so we could do something other than sit around looking out the window. The massage was quite odd...the dude was standing on our backs trying to release the knots! Never had anything like that before so it was a bit weird. After he'd finished on Una he told her he had pulled lots of her eyebrows out during the head massage..the poor guy didn't realise she'd plucked them before he arrived :)
