Luckily we could always count on the sun to wake us up, which resulted in the border crossing at seven o'clock in the morning, which only took an hour and a half, a new record. After that, Bastiaan Cedric Virgul van Dijk de Boer (such as the border police called]]></description>

What was the last thing that happened last night? A very surrealistic experience being the only passenger car at the border. There were, however, hundreds of trucks. Bizarre.

An empty breakfast room, marble floor, elegantly set table, a running buffet. All ingredients that Bas will have a good breakfast. This does not happen; the Turkmen food from yesterday is a bit heavy on the stomach. After breakfast we checked out and we bought some food for the road, bread, coca cola]]></description>
