That time I went and lived in South America. I had one camera stolen, one camera I gave to a friend (as his was also stolen off me) so had a very shit camera for the journey.
Had the best time in Quito but going through my photos it isn’t the most photogenic!
Bus Station in Kalam at the top of the Swat Valley in Pakistan.
Probably one of the last White Western faces welcomed up that way. Had a weekend to spare so went & climed a mountain to have lunch in Afghanistan (as you do)
The at Kalam you turn left for Afghanistan and turn right for Gilgit & the base camp for K2. This was the road to Gilgit ^
This was the footpath that the Mujahideen used to transport weapons & supplies into Afghanistan during the Russian conflict.
What was I doing there? UN Media tour event we’d donated some kit that was being used to power & village and rehabilitate the locals. Seemed a good idea at the time and it is still the greatest Business Trip I have ever been on!
