Postcards from Tajikistan #2 We’ve been a bit lax on the Tajikistan postcards so far. Not because the scenery is bad - far from it - but in comparison to Kyrgyzstan it just hasn’t quite grabbed us in the same way. Sure the (93% of the country) mountains are incredible and the peaks are spectacular, but perhaps there’s just so much of it, that it’s almost overwhelming. #photography #overlandlife #tajikistan #pamirhighway image
How big are the potholes on the Pamir Highway? Yes. To be clear, this is the highway. With trucks going back and forth. It is not an off road track. 🤯 Also, I’m 6’4”, if that helps give you a scale 🤣 #overlanding #pamirhighway #tajikistan image
Just a fun little edit of some delightful tracks recently. #overlanding #expeditiontruck #tajikistan
We’re often asked how we cope with travelling with a dog and whether he’s happy. If he has space to run (chasing thrown stones), smells to sniff and the sofa to cuddle on, he’s happy. And if he has a river or lake to run through or swim in, then even more so! #photography #dogstr #overlandlife image
Friends in the desert! One of the great joys of travelling is meeting other travellers. Each with their own stories and reasons for travelling. It took us a while to realise, but in the early days we kept meeting people…and getting on really well with them. Eventually we realised that people that travel all have similar mind sets, drives and desires, so it stands to reason we’d get on well. And continued meetings reaffirms this. The hardest part of meeting people? Saying goodbye to people you’ve only known briefly but have a connection with, knowing you may not see them again. #photography #overlanding #friendsontheroad image
On the move today - the three vehicles were all heading off today in different directions, but we decided to convoy out through the high altitude desert together before heading our separate ways. Australian. Toyota Troopy in the lead, Canadian Toyota Tundra in the middle and us with Bebe following on behind. Made for quite a fun sight as we travelled down the track. #photography #aerial #overlanding #rigchoice image
Last nights lunar eclipse blood moon, from 4300m up in Tajikistan. Just about 10mins before totality. The biggest downside? It was about -4degC so as soon as it hit totality, we all went to bed! #photography #eclipse #overlanding image
