Made it to Kurgan-Teppa. Hopefully going to visit SWORDE-Teppa tomorrow. Gonna have a celebratory beer or two. See you all soon!
Just had a lovely breakfast with Gabriel & Zara after spending the last couple of days with them in the Pamirs. Gonna see how close to teppa we can get now
Stayed in a homestay in Murghab. People are really friendly. Bought hats from the bazaar.
Just been given a police escort out of Osh. Bout 50k past now. Eating noodles under the stars. Kyrgyzstan is good fun. Border tomorrow.
So we've made it to Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan and we've decided to spend the night in a hotel and sort some bits out! We've found an internet cafe, hence the proper blog!
If we mission it from here to Tajikistan we might just make our flight home, otherwise we might have to change it to 28th, but we'll see. The trip has been amazing so far, very tiring because we've been in the car so much but we've still managed to meet some locals and take in the culture. Not far to go now distance wise, but the roads become mountainous from here on in so the pace will slow down no doubt. read more »
Made it to Kyrgyzstan, pretty much none stop driving for 17hours today on shoddy roads, good stuff! Gonna have shower in hotel tomorrow :)
Interesting day today, bartering with locals to get fuel. Had to pay double or they wouldn't sell it, still 80p per l though, not too shabby! Night
Stopped by road for night, slept in car every night so far, getting used to it now! Tomorrow we drive again :)
Just got into Kazakhstan, pleasant border guards, v friendly! Lost passport at border, Roper was sat on it after the panic! Having fun :)
