Journey aboard of a Toyota pickup!

Yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 28th/06, was decided to be a chilled out day! Indeed, I had done all the work I had to do, and was waiting for more work to come along. As a result, and being taken over by a feeling of lazyness, I decided that it was time to have a break, and explore elsewhere than the camp! I easily managed to find a my two good friends around the camp who did not hesitate a second to jump into the car and wait with me for the driver to start the ride! Murtaza (on the left) came up with this great idea of making ourselves confortable at the back by integreting in this standard pickup the confortable chairs option. This was just the most brilliant idea of putting camping seats at the back!! yeah! This was just an unreal experience when crossing the town on the back of the pickup with all these pakistanese watching us and smiling! We headed up on of the multiple mountains around here, as you get high, it gets cold, so soon we were no more proud of our brilliant found with the seat at the back! it was freezing, and seeing the edge of the narrow snaky roads was a real scare! Through we made it to the top a along with this amazing view on the vallee! This must have been a little mountain as we only reached about 3000m+ but the spectacle from up there was breath taking, and worth while!
Next, we plan to take a two days trip on the week end and get up a higher mountain which should allow us to see the feets of the K2 mountain chain which are just about the border with China! of course, K2 is a little far to be seen from here, but just to see the feets of it will be an exalting moment! Inshallah, I will get the chance to head up to K2 sometimes when I get a few days off! (K2 is on the border with China and is the second highest mountain in the world at 8611m).
