Tajikistan: Drive into the Pamir - halfway/second part

Four travelers/tourists, two of whom were not willing to pay 50 Somoni more than demanded by the drivers. Okay, then let's try hitchhiking in teams of two. Akhil, an Indian guy, had bad luck at first, but we still won the race thanks to Said and his mechanical skills when we got stuck on our 12+ hour journey (for less than 200km!!!). Very classic, although EVERYONE has to take this road. It's simply the worst road in the entire Pamir, full of meteoric potholes, even more rubble, and a never-ending construction site that doesn't make it any faster - on the contrary! But the boundless view of Afghanistan and the glimpses of life that you rarely get compensate for it. A constant amazement and wonder!
