6080 miles so far. From the river stop we drove through the desert, got stuck in sand and were pulled out by a lorry driver. Which we in turn reversed into the back of him. drank 20 litres of water that day. Dodgy night at the border with wild dogs, donkeys, cows and truckers! Very hot! Driving through Uzbek we stopped at buxoro and samarqand. Did some culture. Found a nice spot to camp far from the road only to be woken early morning by two men on horses circling our camp. Soon after a man on a donkey with a herd of cows walked by followed by more cows people, dogs, donkeys and horses, pretty much noahs fricking ark! Seemed we had set camp on a cattle highway. Managed to dodge 6 bribes today with some tetley tea, smiling and acting or being stupid. Next we took on the Kazak border. They tried to ask for a 20 dollar bribe. Chris decided enough was enough and so sat on the floor cross legged and called the mans mum a water buffalo. Job done we are now in Kazak!
