Fellow Kiwi
Hi Andi
I am a fellow kiwi and looks like i will be doing the same trip as you but in reverse. Altho i am not sure about the ROB by myself, will depend on how confident i am feeling towards the end of the trip.
Was wondering if you would be interested (if we happen to be in Tajikistan at the same time) in popping into Afghanistan for a few days and riding up the Wakhan Corridor? I have been there before a couple of times on mountaineering expeditions and it is fabulous. Great scenery and great people. It would mean getting an Afghan visa in Khorog which only takes a day or two.
As things stand at the moment i plan to be in Tajik early to mid July. To ride up the Wakhan and back (its a there and back trip) would take about 5 days.
Anyway...let me know if you are interested. I will be on a GS650 - not as nimble as your bike, although I ride a WR here in New Zealand.
I hope your planning is going ok. What date do you leave?
Cheers Pat
