Uneventful flights via Istanbul (thumbs up to Turkish Airlines) but landing in Dushabe at 03h30 was never going to be easy. Steve and Mark in business class, breeze through immigration waving their passports, while the rest of us, dusting off the chicken feathers, form long queues at the booths and fill-in registration cards. Some time later we eventually get through and collect our luggage; it's arrived too, phew!
We meet Andre our local guide, a short to taxi ride, and we're at our hotel for a few nights. A few hours sleep, to the tune of a rumbling A/C, and then Charlie, Mark, Christopher, Steve and Danny and new friend, Cary, gather for an awaiting breakfast. It feels quite muggy outside the air-conditioned room, which we expect to transition to cold as we hit the Pamir altitudes later in the trip.
