Silk Road
Portraits of Turkmenistan
Here we are again :-)
5 days in Turkmenistan isn’t much BUT since you don’t need “a guide” (a guard!) if you have a transit visa .. you have more fun, more contact with the people. Just more Turkmenistan really.
Ok… here we go … some pictures for you.
Dasht-e Kavir – the Great Salty Desert
Ok. We did it half way :-) but please . .excuse me .. cycling in 50C is against Health & Safety Regulations even here ok ?
And BTW the train from Tabas to Mashhad was also veeery hot (but full of very friendly people) so we still suffered a lot :-)
We are in Mashhad but leaving [...]
3800 km and only 30 days visa
We are in Shiraz at the moment. Looong, 2 weeks brake from cycling.
Visas, heat and friends .. :-) but we are getting ready to cross the Dash-e Kavir desert next week.

Stay cool :-) It’s 41C today:-)
This Gorgeous Turkey
We are not cycling much this days. Ania has some silly knee injury so we took a bus just to avoid climbing some 1200 m. Oh well .. part of the “team trip”.
We are around Van Lake :-) so to use it properly .. we took a famous ferry boat across the lake. Great adventure [...]
on the way to Damascus
“Welcome to Syria!” it’s the local mantra. One doesn’t have to speak English to know how to say it.
The best part of it? They don’t only say it – they do it. With smiles, with free coffee, free breakfasts, free fruits, free … you name it (almost ;-)
Great people!
it’s time to pack …
aaaaaaall right!
We are leaving … eeeeeeee .. today ? OK … so what about the boxes?
sorry everything is in Polish but I belive .. you’ll get the picture ;-)
:-)
