And we came to China with the BB over the 4700 m high Kunjerab pass, the inclinations of the road were not bad but the quality was bad to the last meter, and then on the Chinese side every changed what a happiness ?A good asphalt road
The first stop at the costume took time because there was a bus before us.The officers all well uniformed did there job very carefully. Everything told us that we have arrived to a new country. With us it went more fast, they wanted to know the nationality of the BB , and Brazil said very little to them, it was surely the first Brazilian car who passed there.
On a smooth asphalt road we went to nearest town a 100 km away to the main custom house, and here we found out that our guide has not arrived. But we had a telephone contact with him, if he could get a flight he could be here to morrow, and they after some discussion we were allowed to stay at there parking lot, they told us that it could be very cold at night,and wanted us to go to a hotel, what a difference from the heat at New Delhi only 10 days ago
And then righting this two young people a girl and a boy arrived telling that the girl would be our
new guide, Jason has changed it so, the policemen have surly spoken hard to him. They are now working on the papers wile we are waiting.
It should be possible to reach the town Kashgar to day here the time is different and it is day until 9 o clock. And here we should bring the BB in good shape again
But things changed rapidly, our guide girl Sisi is here name could tell us that a earthquake very big has happened during the last days so that the custom could only attend us after the weekend, two days lost. They wanted us to place the BB in a closed yard , and again they wanted us in a hotel, but Sisi managed them to let us sleep in the BB, and so we did the first night.Next day we went to the town very beautiful to have taken photos for my new driver license, but coming back we found the yard closed. And an uniformed officer told us to take our stuff and go to a hotel in 10 minutes, well and so we did, and here I am now righting this.
Yester day I hoped to go to an internet bar to post this but was told that strangers could not do it in this frontier city, better luck in the next town Kashigar 350 km from here.
