Day 8 Pamir Highway - Murghab to Karakul Lake

They were crazy!
But they inspired us to hitchhike from Auckland home to Wellington a few months after we got home! We'd often toyed with the idea but after meeting them we bit the bullet and did it! We were so close to coming to the US this month but hit a slight stumbling block because we can't get the ESTA due to having been to Iran, given we have 2 passports we thought we'd just be able to use the one without the visa but alas when you go to complete the form in the declaration it asks if you've been to Iran (it also asks if you hold any other passports). So now to enter the US (even to transit) we have to get a visa and in NZ it's currently a 160 day processing time and we have to go up to Auckland to be interviewed as part of the process. So it won't be this year, but after we get back our next holiday (which we had an idea for last week but much research yet to work out if it could be possible) we are thinking we'll get our applications in for a US visa, so watch this space!
