Arrived at Benezir Butto international airport without you incident. Rode a shuttle bus to the terminal where the first thing we had to do is stand in the line for immigration. We were a little confused at first which line we should stand in. But, it was obvious, being the only two white guys in the airport, when we saw the sign for foreigners that meant us. Immigration was easy. Hand in the two forms that we were given on the plane to fill out, an immigration form and a health declaration, along with your passport. Get your stamps and be sent away. No time for chit chat or niceties. I could have sworn that I heard the uniformed woman behind the counter say, “Papers please”
Next to collect our checked baggage… We waited and waited. Both thinking oh no lost baggage would be a disaster! I was relieved when my bag finally came around the carousel.
Fight the crowds out the door and look for Altaf, the man sent by Moin Khan to collect us at the airport and deliver us to the guest house where we will stay for the next wo nights.
