Expedition

After riding half of the 18km I regret both, not riding a bike for a year and doing it now in the afternoon heat of Tadjikistan. With every kilometer after that I also aproched the limits of my power. I can't describe my gladness upon crossing the little stream Obimagmurod, from which I knew it was only two more kilometers.

After I reached the geohash, a man came to me and asked how I was and where I was from. Then he invited me to his nearby workingplace for tea. I quickly took a few photos and followed. Since I speak neither tajik nor russian very well comunicating turned out to be rather difficult, but nonetheless we had a good time. After tea he showed me his work and even offered driving me a few kilometers up the mainroad back to Dushanbe

  As my location as well as the accuracy kept jumping around I chose this as 'as-close-as-possible'
