So here we are… Friday afternoon and suprise suprise no news from the Turkmenistan embassy!

Due to cross the border Monday morning but still we have no confirmation of visa. 

So… All we can do is continue with our plan and head down to Bukhara and hopefully get something from the on Monday! If we don’t hear anything we have to travel 2000 kms to Kazakhstan and then apply for an Azerbaijan visa and then get a two day boat across the Caspian Sea into Azerbaijan and then in to Iran. A very long expensive boring way round that puts us about 3 weeks behind but we literally have no other choice.

Feeling pretty over it 🙁
