Dushanbe

We have our visas! Yes, this morning we got our Chinese visa. Then we came back to the Pakistan embassy with a letter that the Swiss consul wrote for us. The guy that refused us the visa on Friday was a bit annoyed because we he figures we bypassed him. Nevertheless he took our passports and went off. Half an hour later he came back a bit embarassed because it worked.. the ambassador/consul was okaying our visa. Thank you Swiss passport (and the Swiss consul of course), we are now clear for the Pamir Highway and the Karakoram Highway! We leave tomorrow, so no web update fot the next few days.

Oh, one last thing: Anders just discovered a new nail in his tyre.. now I think we definitely don't skew the statistics anymore!
