Okay, so I finally did it. I got up, gathered all my things and rolled the Caboose out from her storage and onto the street. Then I said good-bye to the good people from the hostel I had been staying at: Only Sarkozy (that yellow-eyed demon on the left) kept ignoring me. I suspect that […]

When I woke up I noticed that the rooms had an interesting pricing structure: I figured that people who rented a room for just two hours probably needed it in order to play a nice game of monopoly (albeit a quick one). I didn’t have anyone to play with, so I massaged my legs and […]

Today was going to be easier than yesterday. Less km, less traffic on the road. Someone had told me about a village with a hotel about 30km to the West and about an alternative road that ran about 5km south of the main road. So I went looking for it: I could see the mountains […]

I knew that the day was going to be long. So I got up early in the morning, when the hotel was still asleep, and I left the key in the door. Then I got on the new road: It was quiet walking. Good walking. One time I passed a graveyard: And sometimes I saw […]

Woke up with a song stuck in my head. A very very very very very very very very very very good song. So the walking was easy: And the burden was light. First I came through a large gorge. There was nothing in that gorge (people later told me that it was full of wolves […]

With practically no sleep during the night before, I got up early and packed my things. Then I got going. The road wasn’t good: It went on like this for hours: By loading the video, you agree to YouTube’s privacy policy.Learn more Load video Always unblock YouTube Once I ran into tourists, two young men […]

Today saw me falling out of bed at five. There was an idea behind this: I wanted to snap pictures of the first sun rays creeping into the canyon. I had seen it the morning before, when it was already too late to set up the camera, and today I wanted to be on time. […]

Slight change of plans. People had been telling me about the REAL canyon. It wasn’t here where I was. It was somewhere far away, and it was supposed to be awesome. So I left the place with the nice trees and the nice feeling of safety and got back on the road: I crossed the […]

This is going to be a long one because some shit happened. But read for yourself if you like. Or just watch the videos. … I got up and left Shonzhy early in the morning, because I wanted to get to a certain Charyn Canyon in the west. The small town seemed to be still […]

I woke up at five in the morning. I was in a small room on a sort of kang-style bed: And I wasn’t alone. I had spent the night with a man who introduced himself as Jackson: Apparently because his original name sounded a bit alike. And Jackson had to get up early in the […]

When I got up this morning, I figured I’d do a bit more walking than the day before: It was easy at first: I walked a light 20km, and I basically felt invincible. There were no villages. One time these two serious-looking guys stopped just to give me a lollipop: I offered them some of […]

I left Zharkent early in the morning… …because I wanted to get as far as I could before the sun started punishing the land. I walked down a long tree-lined road: And I saw a cyclist once. He looked like an old man, and he had a Swiss flag attached to his bicycle. He didn’t stop. In […]

I left early in the morning, and when I did, I saw a sparrow’s nest that the people here were keeping next to a window: I had noticed the bird in the corridor the night before, but I had thought nothing of it. Now I knew that the bird somehow belonged here. Walking was tough but good. The […]
