It doesn’t happen very often, but today we’d decided to stay put with the friends we’ve been in convoy with for the last week or so.
Then by chance we dropped a message to another couple who we knew were in Tajikistan and it turns out they were less than 100km away. So they came over to meet us! They’re Canadian and this is the 6th country we’ve met them in since early last year - Morocco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Georgia and now Tajikistan. Quite amazing since we’ve taken totally different routes!
Finally a Belgian guy on a bike came by and although he thought about continuing on, the spectre of fresh bread baking and a BBQ this evening proved too much of a draw. Also, he’s a baker by trade and since there’s a birthday in the group today, he’s baked a cake!
So four overland vehicles at 4300m camped up on a high altitude plateau surrounded by mountains. Perfect.
This is overlanding. The people you meet and stories you hear.
