Glandular Fever And Blood In Sputum

last step in China!

So here we are 2 km from the border with Kazakhstan ... the last step was harder than expected in the mountains, with a pass at 2150m, but the breathtaking scenery made us forget the state of the calamitous road to this village last. On the way, the heat and dry air give rise to several dust devils.




a "dust-devil" in training a few dozen meters from the car .







three vortices in the plains near Jinghe.




After an endless climb, we here in what remains for us one of the finest landscapes we've seen during this trip: the extended bordering Lake Sayram Hu, a real postcard.


Berger and his horse herd




past few days already, yurts have appeared here and there, we come across again, still more than 2000 meters above sea level.


comfortable with T1 local dependence


We rest a bit at the top of the neck:


The small car in the meadow with Gege Ingalls


Before beginning the descent into hell that a track will shake us to the end: 70 km more or less steep slope in 6 hours!


But what are the highways? ...


Upon arrival, a nice plate of Laghman (long noodles, specialty Uygur) will do to give us our emotions


Cook preparing to contest the greatest spaghetti


See you soon. In Kazakhstan!
