A day without cycling

3 year ago -- Comments

We cycle only for a few kilometres and then we arrive at the bus stop. From here we have to find a bus that will take us to Quetta. Soon we find a nice bus an after we agreed about the price we take our bags off. A strange man arrives and tells us that this bus won’t leave and that we should take his bus. We don’t trust him at all and ask our money back and we decide to go and look for another bus. A couple of hundred meters away from this man we run in to a friendly bus driver who is leaving soon to Quetta. Together with the bus boys I climb on the roof of the bus to make sure that our bikes and bags are safe.

The first steps in Baluchistan, Pakistan...

3 year ago -- Comments

Baluchistan, stated by many as a lawless state, a province without control but full of riots, men with beards and guns. For us Baluchistan is the start of Pakistan, driving on the wrong side of the road and colourful trucks. After a ride in a pick-up we step out in front of the Iranian border post. The building stands in the middle of a sandy stretch and the dust is everywhere when a truck passes. Everything looks old, in bad shape and deserted. This doesn't look like anything we've expected to see as a border between the beautiful Iran and the for us new Pakistan.
