I've been baptized in dirt! (Afghanistan)
After leaving Band-e amir the comfort level dropped dramatically! No more decent roads, or comfortable rides. From then on we crammed into already tightly packed vehicles (of all kinds) and had to share space with chickens, luggage and the rest of the people who had been waiting as long for their ride, as we had for ours. Saying that travel was slow in that part of the country is the king of all understatements! The roads are coated with about a foot of dust. Huge pot holes and stones in the road are the norm. Of course there's no air conditioning, so everyone opens the windows, allowing a tidal wave of dirt and dust to constantly drench us! We all had our turbin type things around our face, covering our nose and mouth, but that just made it difficult to breath. Before too long, it looked as if we all had dirty (hehe) blond hair. Dirt and dust covered everything, our faces, mouths, the inside of our noses, our arms, backpacks and the whole interior of the jeeps/whatever we were driving in at the time! Date: 09/17/2005
Bamiyan (Afghanistan)
We decided to leave Kabul sooner rather than later, everything is overpriced there and we were all looking forward to checking out Bamiyan and the rest of Afghanistan. Jacques, Stefon, Shu-San (a Chinese Canadian dude that we met in Kabul) and I, all took a 4 a.m. bus from Kabul to Bamiyan (10 hours - 250 Afghani's. One $ = 50 Afghani's). The ride was uneventful, but the scenery was great. Date: 09/09/2005
Peshawar to Kabul (Afghanistan)
Wow, I've made it through Afghanistan and some of the toughest traveling anywhere! On our ride into the country there was almost a shoot-out, but not with Taliban. The Police and the Afghani army almost got into it with each other. In the end cool heads prevailed, but a police man pointed his rifle at the head of an Afghani army dude!! Date: 08/09/2005 |
