Towards the End of an Adventure

Our tour around the world with the family during 400+ days and more than 64000 km is almost at an end. It has been an experience of a life-time for all of us –  a time to learn, a time to explore, a time to reflect on many issues, but more than anything a time […]

“You know, this is Pakistan”

This was expressed by our Pakistani guides several times during our stay together – as if stating that Pakistan is different. And truly Pakistan is different and this we experienced very clearly as we entered Pakistan from the Chinese border in the north by driving from Kashgar to Sost and then following the Karakoram highway.

What comes to your mind when you hear the name of “Iran”? Maybe desert, nuclear power, unsafety, third World country, weapons and God knows what. Well that is definitely what I imagined. Iran was not in my list of countries that I wanted to visit during the world trip, actually it wasn’t in none of […]

Pakistán, del cielo al infierno (y viceversa)

July 4, 2012 by

A pesar de que habíamos sido advertidos de que Pakistán no era un país seguro y que teníamos que tener cuidado, ninguno de nosotros imaginó lo que nos esperaba al otro lado de la frontera: solo cruzarla ya nos pareció haber tocado el cielo sin sospechar que tan cerca estaría el infierno. Dijimos adiós a […]

Since part of  the Karakoram highway, about 8 km, has disappeared due to a mountain top falling down in 2009, taking half a mountainside with it and creating the huge Abattabad lake (not yet on the maps), we had to ship the car on a small boat. First view of the Abattabad Lake (in the […]

 We have during the last 20 days or so driven almost 5000 km from the south west of China to the Pakistani border in the north west visiting Kashgar as our last bigger Chinese town on our itinerary. We have had opportunities to observing how fast and to which extent this country and its society […]

From Singapore to China

June 19, 2012 by

It was incredible to finally see our own car driving in South East Asian roads. It was not as easy process, though. In Singapore the laws are known to be strict, especially when it comes to the hygiene and cleanliness of the city. For example chewing gum was banned in Singapore in 1992 because of […]
