Finally in Kashgar
First of all, I’m sorry that it took me so long to post at my blog. No, I didn’t forget you guys;) Originally, I planned to update the blog in Gilgit, Pakistan but with ‘moody’ satellite connections it wasn’t possible at all. Here in Kashgar, China the Internet seems to be lot faster;)
Just give me a few days as I have some more urgent things to deal with first: 1.) Replace my rear wheel rim which cracked almost 700 kms ago but held all the way to Kashgar; 2.) Buy a multi-fuel stove, an absolute necessity in Tibet; 3.) Get FOOD, I’ll need supplies for about 20-25 days to get to Ali…
Thanks guys for checking;) Just a side note: Pakistan and its extremely friendly people were amazing, exceeding all my expectations. Really!!! China and Xinjiang province also, albeit for different reasons: Karakul Lake (at 3,700m high) with its two Pamir giants: Muztagh Ata (7,546m) and Mt. Kongur (7,719m) was a great experience just to see and admire from far below at the lake’s shores. As you probably know already, I’m a mountaineer at heart;) But more about it later…
