Greetings from some town 100km away from Islamabad.
Been riding yesterday and today together with John from UK.
Been slow riding today due to 6 police escorts.
Now staying in a hotel where 5 armed guards are giving protection to us.
Tomorrow I should reach Islamabad and then I will add rest of the photos to the previous blog update.
Where is Hemuli?
Riding round the world
Hi, Just re reading your bit about going through China.
Did you ever get your axe back in
Kashgar as the chinese ‘guide’ had promised you ? …
Hi Nicole,
No, they did not return that axe to me… Those b*stards…

be careful – I am afraid that there might be some trouble (I read in Spiegel: http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/pakistan-erklaert-freitag-zum-urlaubstag-des-propheten-a-856829.html )
Hi Elke,
Yes, tomorrow (Friday) will be really wild day here.
Big demonstrations coming. It is announced as public holiday, so that people can gather.
My plan was to ride tomorrow to Lahore, but roads are blocked (I was told), so will be stuck inside hotel…

Pakistan is probably not, my future vacation dream destination…
Pakistan is really amazing, want to come back here. Mountains are just amazing and people are really great!
