I should note that this post has lain in the draft folder for a couple of years. Having spotted it recently I finished it and released it.
The Weird
Our first night in Kazakhstan, we came out to find that the garage security man had decorated the bikes with flowers.
In Kyrgyzstan a large "Buddha" watches the road and Issy-Kul lake.
The Wonderful
Kyrgyzstan, possibly the best mountain range(s) I have ever seen.
The Strange
A Russian missile launcher, converted to a camper-van.
The People
It takes a special, strange kind of person to ride solo across Mongolia, and Thomas was extra special.
