Ach!

4 days at camp Baku, 20 hrs on a boat of greedy gits, 8 hrs in customs and $450 later and we're finally in Turkmenistan. We now have 3 days to do 2000km! Tom

Dear Tim and Tom,

We presume the time pressure is because your visa will expire in three days?

If it makes you feel any better, we have worked it out in miles and I reckon you will need to do just over 400 miles per day. It does sound slightly less daunting that way but, of course, takes no account of the bad roads you are likely to meet.

So long as Molly can stand up to it, we are sure you both can.......

Keep smiling,

David and Helen x

To all readers:

Tim and Tom may go quiet(er) for a while now. Tim contacted me to say that he had been relieved of his mobile by an officer of the law (huh!) in Turkmenistan. We have cancelled his handset from this end to try and save the phone bill.

Anyway, they are through Turkmenistan and on the border to cross into Uzbekistan (hope my geography is right there) after some serious driving through the day. That message was received at 6.30 P.M. so they should be through by now.

Latest update:

Tim and Tom were in a bar in Kazakhstan late this afternoon. They seemed much happier with life and with the people there.
