Good News from the Border

Finally we have received good news about the truck, it was cleared through the border at 6:30pm today. So Pete is driving towards us at the moment and is hoping to catch up by the morning. We have come a distance of 700km from Kashgar on fairly rough roads, so it could well take him all night. But I bet he's looking forward to seeing us again and he should have some interesting stories to tell.

All being well, we should be heading on to Tourfan tomorrow, the hottest city in China (50m below sea-level) and we're hoping to have a huge celebratory party in the evening to welcome back Pete and Daphne.

Delighted to hear that Daphne and Pete have been released from captivity, so to speak. I am sure the celebratory party will be a good one! So now do I understand that you will eat anything that is put before you just as long as you don't know what name it goes by!
