the stans (and other stuff): the end of china
http://thestans.dunnet.me.uk/2005/06/end-of-china.html
The stans (and other stuff). An adventure across the Caucauses, Central Asia and. China from April to June 2005. The end of china. You can't really see but there's some rather large mountains in the background of this photo - this big old fort was to protect China from the marauding hordes from beyond. Lots of Chinese tourists there, not many other white faces (in the whole of China I suspect! The dragons on the end of the roofs are just brilliant though - can't resist taking lots of photos of them.

The stans (and other stuff). An adventure across the Caucauses, Central Asia and. China from April to June 2005. Last entry for a few days cos I'm gonna be on the steppe, man. I've managed to buy train tickets which SHOULD get me to Uralsk Sunday morning in time to start the Russian visa processing first thing Monday. Then we shall see what the plan is - if all goes well I reckon Samara, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, (maybe fly) Moscow, St Petersburg, see Sash in Tallin on the 25th June! London, United Kingdom.

The stans (and other stuff). An adventure across the Caucauses, Central Asia and. China from April to June 2005. Have just paid for an hour on the web only to realise I've forgotten my USB cable so I can't upload any pics - think I'll come back later and do that. In the meantime, I am here in Uralsk - have actually been into Russia on the train last night! We shall see how it all goes tomorrow. Posted by Jenifer Dunn at 6:25 am. London, United Kingdom.

Comments today but no real hassles - again, the crazy tourist I suspect. The strangest thing I find about this travelling solo is how much time there is to fill up.

the stans (and other stuff): change of plan
http://thestans.dunnet.me.uk/2005/06/change-of-plan.html
The stans (and other stuff). An adventure across the Caucauses, Central Asia and. China from April to June 2005. What am I doing back here I hear you ask? And went to sleep. And - wahey - the are sorting it out today - FINGERS CROSSED! I was fully convinced it wasn't gonna happen between 8.30 and 10 so I'm trying to remain calm and be thankful for the luck I have had so far - no counting chickens. Still. So, all being well, I should be in Urumqi at 22.50 tonight. It's a miracle! London, United Kingdom.

The stans (and other stuff). An adventure across the Caucauses, Central Asia and. China from April to June 2005. Jeti-Oguz National Park, Kyrgyzstan. It took me a while to work out why I couldn't finish a sentence without running out of breath but I think it would be that this camp is at 2200m. Very beautiful, very alpine, pretty cold.
