Afghanistan
This is our first look to the afghan mountains!

We reached the border with Afghanistan
The Panji marks the border, we will cycle along the river for almost 1000 km.

Ready to rest
We camped in a settlement with the workers for a turkish road contruction company.

Great morning light on the afghan mountain
