Pakistan

Unfortunate we had to reschedule our travel plan. The embassy of India at Tehran wouldn’t give us a visa if we wanted to travel through Pakistan into India. We did not have enough time to go by land to Islamabad and apply for a visa to India over there. So we decided to go by plain to Mumbai in India and travel from there to the next artist in residence in Ahmadabad. On the other hand Pakistan is not the most save place on earth at this moment and it would be also nice to spend more time just in the north from Pakistan, so for our next year off :-). The visa procedure for our visa from India went very slow and chaotic, so we needed to extend our Iran visa also. Spend again some nice moments dealing with bureaucratic procedures; I think it’s half the fun of traveling :-). Entering India was for Rolina like ‘hello again’ and for me an overwhelming experience, especially after Iran. Besides all the colors woman are dressed in, the smell of urine, rotten meat and spices, the dirt and poverty on the streets it is unbelievable hot. It is like entering a sauna without time limit.
