Some pics..?

Doing my utmost to upload some pics but Kargil internet is moody. I hope to get a few posted.... If it is black below, it did not worked out quite well...

And some more...

Kargil is cool

Earlier then expected, we have arrived in Kargil today. In the Lonely Planets of this world, this town is described as a bit grim, also called 'bed bug town'. The reason for this is, that most tourists arrive late at night from Srinagar or Leh and leave early in the morning. As soon as tourists can complain about filthy bed sheets and grotty rooms, they are on the road again. But hey, as soon as we entered this town, we liked it. We even found fantastic cookies and a hotel for a reasonable price with clean sheets and a hot shower (very welcome after a week only cold bucket showers or 'wetties'). We have decided to stay another day in this melting pot of Kashmiris, Dards, Tibetans, Sikh and many many many soldiers because of the never ending Kashmir conflict, so I hope to post a few more pics tomorrow. Inshallah, because electricity is quite fast, but very shaky...

Some more!

Yessss, we managed to post a few pics more!

Sneak preview

Despite bad internet connection, herewith a few pics to give an impression on what we are doing...

We did it - Part I

Yes we did it. Part 1 of our ride: the Manali-Leh highway. Yes, it was high but less way :)  We conquered 475 km with 4 passes of 5000 meter! Now we are in Leh, but internet is slow, so no pics (yet). Besides some headaches, we have been in good health. It was an amazing experience and the landscape hard to describe. Every day a change of scenery. We will stay a couple of days in Leh. Just enjoyed the first hot shower after 11 days :)
