En route to our border crossing we stopped for fuel at what passes for a petrol station here. As I walked across the forecourt I could hear an alarm sounding and then saw a white Lada car screech onto the station just missing me as it swerved to a halt. AS hotch potch of men jumped out wearing steel helmets, flack jackets and carrying machine guns. It was obviously a false alarm as the shop guard also carried a pump action shotgun!!
Having regained our composure, we camped nearby and were visited by locals amazed by these strange people.
We pass into Kyrkyzstan next and then into China. That is going to be even stranger if that is possible. We are having a great time on the Great Silk Route.
