Kabul to Jalalibad

---

Sept 3

Note to self....I reek,

After breaki it was off to the embassy though due to usual ineffiviency it was closed for another hour or so, After standing around and seeing several nervous american patrols come through as well as some NGO workers with their own bodyguards we discovered that we would not be given visa's for pakistan as our old ones had not expired yet, this meant that we would have to wait till october to leave Afghanistan...a proposition I was not looking forward to. This led us to the German embassy to see if we could get any help there, after several security checks and then being talked to by a staff member who had been there 2 weeks was told they could not help us. . After spending some time at an internet cafe it was decided that the suggestion of getting smuggled across the border by some young afghanis we had just met was probably not the best idea.
The only idea left was to go to the intercontinental and have a decent coffee and figure out our next move.
