Dalbandin to Quetta 17th Dec




The road started out fine, for the first 100k perhaps more and I was thinking so much for the "bad road". Well I was premature. It came allright. Not 40k of sand but 100k of almost road.
It was great bike riding but wow it was a ride allright. The sign said look out for sand ! An understatement for sure.
The other pic. is of the chimneys of which there are many. They make bricks out of the red brown earth and build houses out of the red brown bricks so it all becomes red brown.
It was rugged to say the least. It was great desert it was in fact stunning. Everywhere was reddish brown. The dust and of course me !
The last 50k into Quetta in the dusk through the ring of mountains that surround the city was fine, but Quetta was not.
What a first class dump.
