32nd stage "Khujand, Tajikistan"

Today was our departure day. Barbara had to return to Frankfurt and I had to travel on to Khujand in Tajikistan. I hope her flight worked out, because unfortunately she had to rebook the flight from Istanbul to Frankfurt. My journey to the border and afterwards was very relaxed. The roads were good and there was little traffic. Unfortunately, crossing the border was very time-consuming, so I was only able to enter Tajikistan after a total of 4 hours of border formalities.

Tomorrow we'll continue to Dushanbe and then gradually onto the Pamir Highway, a highlight of my trip. Until then, however, there are still a few formalities to complete in Dushanbe. Let's see how that all works out.
