Diary update 22 March 2005
After 3 weeks of panic, hair pulling, nervous hysteria, grovelling telephone calls and heaven only knows what else, the Turkmenistan embassy in London have finally released our passports with the 5-day transit visa so desperately required. The 4 – 10 working days originally stated as the necessary time to allow, turned into 19 days, leaving us with a mad dash to the Chinese embassy in Manchester on Monday morning for hopefully, a same day visa. No chance. Come back tomorrow she said. We went. We collected. We whooped with joy.
We sat for hours in a traffic jam on the M60 and wished we had gone on the bikes.
Soon we will on the bikes for 6 months and the nerves are twanging. The Georgia visa, the only one missing, we shall have to get in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The great paper chase has finally ended, and we’re on the ferry in two days time. A close call indeed!
