Hotel7 Islands

A 3100PKR per night stay that was not the original hotel I booked but still within easy access of most things in Clifton.
Smoke And Fire...

Walking a neighborhood in Karachi my first impression is that there's a fire going on down the street ahead of me. Before long the smoke is coming towards me then I'm engulfed by it. Turns out it'sEn savoir plus
Tuk.. Tuk

Trying to get to Clifton Beach before sunset I realize I am not going to get there in time by walking so I flag down a tuk tuk. Even after haggling I know I am overpaying but time is of the essenceEn savoir plus
Sunset Clifton Beach

Not the sunset I was expecting but where I am dropped off by my Tuk Tuk driver turns out to be a lively spot after the sun goes down.

Reeling In The Catch

An all male community effort orchestrated by "One Chief" hauls in the catch of the day.
Hauling In..

The nets takes a coordinated group enough.
Strange Things..

Lurks in the ocean depths like this what I imagine is some kind of a jellyfish.
The Live Catch...

Not sure if this is a common catch but the locals still seem excited about it all.
A Fish Basket

Taken from the net after some rudimentary hand sorting.
Corn On The Cob

Down to the last of my rupees, for 50 of them I get a crunchy before dinner snack.. along with a hug, a smile and a photo Op with the Corn On The Cob Chief.

A little fanning action and this corn on the cob is going to be good to go..

Another honor to the "Father Of Pakistan".
The "Beet" Goes...

Never thought dinner in Pakistan would give be a childhood memory flashback. Now I guess I have "stronger blood" because I eat by beets which came with my Grilled Fish.
Uber Pickup Spot

It's blazing hot and walking to the Pakistan Air Force Museum doesn't seem like such a cool idea. I order a Uber but this is not your typical Uber ride.
A Cool Uber...

For a 133PKR.. I get an adventurous ride across the city in and out of traffic to the PAF Museum.
Pakistan Air Force Museum

An admission price that is hard to beat..60PKR about $0.40 to see some really cool military hardware.
From T-33 To.. F-104

From a training flight in a T-33 it's only a matter of before you could be traveling at 1450mph (twice the speed of sound) in a F-104, 58,000 feet above the planet.
The Support Team

Sophisticated and sometimes portable radar systems and ground based weapons all contribute to an effective air defense.
A Cool Fly-By...

With a military base nearby this was a nice touch having a military cargo plane fly overhead during it's landing.
Even GA...

Airplanes like a Beech Travel Air or Cessna 180 where at one time a part of the Pakistan Air Force.
