Clicks From Turkmenistan

Seyit, the younger brother of Akmyrat, with his son looking at the photos of my journey. We chatted with the help of ENG-TURKISH offline translator app on my phone.

My bicycle outside the house.

This car in the neighbourhood is going to take a while to reach the destination.

Curious cows.

Day 3: Starting before the sunrise at 5:30.

Sunrise, and less than 10°C tempeture.

A mosque in Mary.

After 25 km from Mary, I took a wrong turn despite two people warning me.

This kid look very thoughful.

Then I saw few school children bathing in a canal next to a railway track.

The kids demonstrated their jumping and diving skills.

Soon after I found myself again in the desert for next 70 kilometres.

A misleading sign. It was hardly a 3% climb.

Honey seller beside the road.

On the right onto the way to Turkmenabat.

In Turkmenabat, I stayed at a “cheap” hotel for 16 USD. The toilet was terrible but the room was airconditioned.
Day 4: 160 kilometers.

Bridge on the floating boats after Farap.
I woke up at 8:30 and cycled towards the Farap border. I reached the border at 12:05 but it was closed and was scheduled to open again at 14:00. However, I was let to cross the border at 13:00.

A river in the desert, a couple of kilometres from the Uzbek border.
