May 24th - Welcome to Tajikistan and the Pamir highway (M41)

 

Last night we found a local house to spend the night…no more shower, no more internet and not more mattress…Welcome to the Pamir Highway ! You are lucky if you cross 2/3 cars, most of the time, its empty.

 

This morning was probably one of the most beautiful morning. Snow everywhere. White mountains, white houses, white Kawasaki and white Benelli.

We are facing - 3 degrees. Today we are going to wear most of our gears to fight the cold. It was probably the most difficult day so far…

 

The border was 30km away but no more asphalt after 5km. We reached the exit border and as usual its very easy to get out from a country. 30 kms later finally reached the Tajikistan entry border under snow…3 check points…customs guards are kind and even sometimes make some jokes but we soon realized they asked too much money without any justifications, so we gave at the 1st check point but the 2 last ones was less funny and anyway we did not have a any money left, so the Police custom got his 2 dollars and open the gate.. 

 

 


We are in Tajikistan !!

 

We climbed until 4200meters, again no more power, max speed 12km/h. On the top of the power problem and bad roads condition, the Benelli started to loose fuel again.

So in the middle of nowhere we started our second surgery. One of the pipe was teared…Of course no spare part, so with a piece of plastic tube (that we use for petrol transfer between our bikes when one of us do not have petrol anymore) we insert the tube inside the broken one + some rubber band and the surgery was over.

 

Its a provisory solution and we know it won’t be the last time but at least we are moving again. I am not sure we will be able to survive one night. I mean not with our current gears options.


We made is to Karakul village (40km later) and found a home stay for the night. The idea will be to ship some spare parts from China to Dushanbe (Tajikistan Capital). Hopefully Taobao can make it :)

    I wanted a panel saw that was safe, easy to use and had decent accuracy. I cut a variety of materials.... wood, plastics foams, etc, and this panel saw has never let me down. It was easy to assemble and I get decent accuracy with this saw I have owned this saw for a year so far and no issues. Price was great too. Highly recommended….

    I researched colored printers online for a long time and I am so happy I bought this printer. This is probably one of the best purchases I have made this entire year. The printer is super easy to use and isn't any hassle at all. It prints beautifully with all the barcodes and words coming out crisp and clear.As a small business owner, I only have seconds to adjust printer settings or make changes, and this printer makes it sooooooo easy. <a href="http://groupspaces.com/AmeriTechnology/pages/increase-your-productivity-and-efficiency-with-copier-laser-alpine">Ameri Technology</a>
