B - reporting
We woke early...but how early? We think we have crossed a time zone, but are really not sure. After a strange breakfast of cheesy rice pudding, we headed off along the valley, towards Khorog. The road led along the Whakam valley, with Afghanistan on the other side of the river.
It all seemed very peaceful in the bright sunshine. Villagers in both countries were busy with the harvest, making pyramid-shaped haystacks, threshing corn, and doing other farm-y type things. We kept getting exciting glimpses of the Hindu Kush mountains, towering over us all snowy and majestic.
We tried to do touristy things and see an ancient fort, but true to form we couldn't find it. But the scenery was so fantastic we didn't mind.
We arrived in Khorog around 5-ish, checked into a guest house, and one of us was frightened by a gigantic spider in the loo.
