Leg 4 / Etapa 4

4th Leg: Kabul – Lahore

 

We left Kabul towards the Pakistani border by bus.  The road, even though it goes through a desert, was pretty interesting.

4. etapa: Kabul – Lahor

 

Iz Kabula za Pakistan smo krenuli autobusom.  Put, koji uglavmom vodi kroz pustinju (prakticno od kada smo usli u Iran) je bio vrlo interesantan.

Roadside:

 

  • The bus just stops in the middle of nowhere in time for prayer or
  • The bus stops in the middle of a desert without any sign on the roadside, no houses on the horizon, no visible roads, only sand and dust meet the sky, people just leave the bus and head to the desert
  • The bus also stops from time to time next to small brooks. A brook is used for drinking water, washing and - toilet
Put prema Pakistanu:

 

  • Autobus se jednostano zaustavi u sred pustinje da bi se putnici molili pored puta, ili
  • stane a da pored puta nema nikakve oznake, ljudi izadju I krenu u pustinju – nema ni obrisa kuca, sve je ravno i pustinja se spaja sa nebom
  • Autobus cesto stane kod nekog potoka; potok pored puta sluzi kao voda za pice, voda za pranje i – WC.
Khyber Pass & Torkham Border:

 

  • Khyber Pass is a very interesting pass between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is known (nowadays) as a place where Osama Bin Laden was allegedly hiding.
  • Torkham Border is one on the most interesting places I have seen; Very busy place with a lot of colourful buses, trucks, people etc
Khyber Pass I Torkham granica:

 

  • Kyber Pas je vrlo interesantan prevoj izmedju Avganistana I Pakistana, deo je poznat po navodnom prebivalistu Osame Bin Ladena
  • Torkum granica, pogranicno mesto jedno od najinteresantnijih koje sam video sa mnostvom autobusa I kamiona ukrasenih I iscrtanim raznim bojama. Sve deluje kao vasar.
