The scenery is beautiful in this country, in fact it’s one of the main reasons I decided to pick this trip, so even though I’m not much of a trekker I decided to join the group for a trek in the mountains to see the scenery. After breakfast in the […]

Into Kyrgyzstan
Today we made our way across the border and into Kyrgyzstan, the country I have been looking forward to ever since seeing that photo. It is a shame that we didn’t see more of Uzbekistan as there is so much to see but it Dragoman do offer a segment of […]
The start of the trip
So much for the good nights sleep I was looking forward to last night as at around 3.30 this morning I was woken up by my room mate finally arriving almost 24 hours late. Although I needed the sleep I can’t really complain as he has had a rough time […]
A day in Tashkent
I have another night on my own tonight as my room mate still isn’t here due to flight delays but I can’t complain as it gives me a chance to have a good nights sleep before the start of our overland trip tomorrow. Although I wonder what state he’ll be […]

Africa Day 18 – Crazy Airport Security
Today I got up at 5am, had a quick shower and checked out before saying goodbye to people that were leaving at the same time. I took my taxi to the airport and it was really quick with no detours unlike on the way in. My driver asked for less […]
Africa Day 17 – Return to Nairobi
Another early start today with breakfast at 6 ready to leave by 7. Unfortunately this turned into 740 as one of the tyres needed changing due to having a big hole in it but this gave me a chance for an even bigger breakfast with a double helping of eggs. […]
