DAY 109 - ISLAMABAD DAY 3

Continuing with our infinite struggle to keep up-to-date with blogs, we spent most of the day at the Marriott Hotel, one of the few places with good a good internet connection and food. Ali was off on business for the day and Chuck and Rhys remained at home both feeling a bit under the weather.

Later on, Dave, Fintan,Rhys and Ali had a Japanese dinner at the hotel. Ali insisted on bringing a bottle of vodka with us to have a few drinks. Surprisingly enough, it is quite easy for locals to get alcohol from dealers and Ali informed us that the main source of the alcohol is diplomatic offices importing excessive amounts and somebody then selling it on. The waiter camouflaged the vodka in a jug which was left on table for us to look after!
