Get me the hell out of here


Woke early and straight off for the Uzbek border.

Another 550km shlep.

This time we went through the real desert. Just sand dunes and strong winds. It was terrifying.
If we had broken down, someone would have been along in minutes to help, but it was scary to someone who is never more that 20 yards from water most of their life.


A real grind of a drive. There was nothing eventful - we got to Chardzhou at 8pm to find that the border was closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A night in the sleeping bag next to the car beckoned.

Didn't realise that I could respond - I've been enjoying following your adventures on the blog, sure knocks my recent chilling on a series of Danish beaches into a cocked hat! Speedy Noodles are missing you....
