G – Reporting
It’s not every morning
you find yourself locked in your hotel but thats how this day started so after
finding and waking a member of staff to let us out we started out on the road
to Arselan Bob our fantastically named destination for the day, the dive was
good through pleasant scenery and villages, while stopping for lunch a random
farmer appeared as if from nowhere and gave us a bottle of milk seems that how
nice people are in the “stans”
We arrived in the
Arselan Bob at about 4 and parked right in the town square of this small hillside
village but I think we only stood out a LOT! For a few minutes we wandered around
trying to work out where the home stay office was when a man came up and said “hello”
do you need a home stay why yes we said, turn out he was the man were badly
trying find, so after a quick look at the options back at the office we picked
a home stay near the village and he took us down to it.
Introducing us to
our host that didn’t speak English he disappeared leaving us a little bewildered
but we were soon sat down with piles of fruit bread and tea in front of us, I could
get used to this.
After a while the
host’s 16-year-old daughter arrived who could speak pretty damn good English,
which made everything way easy so telling her we would be back we did a quick
walk through town returning for dinner which was a huge plate of Plov (a very
tasty traditional rice dish) plus roast veg and meat, gallons of tea as usual
and more fruit.
