76) SUNDAY, 11 SEPTEMBER 1977 : 112KMS. - KANDAHAR
Got up relatively early in the morning because OMAR, our Afghan host had to go to open his shop. Last night we did not sleep well as we were worried about our campervan, parked outside. I heard dogs barking and loud noises as well as vehicle sounds so we got up to have a look at our campervan. Normally we would not leave our campervan at night without our presence for a long time in public because if anything happens to our campervan it would mean that our dream to travel further would end up. We came back to sleep after rechecking our campervan. We were told later on that people woke up after midnight to cook food and eat before daybreak . It was during the fasting period “Ramadan”.

In the morning, after walking around the market, we said goodbye to Omar and departed to KANDAHAR , not far from GIRISHK ( about 112 kms.) The scenery along the roadsides was desert . But it was much better than yesterday as we saw houses and greeneries at the horizon as there is a river flowing through.

We arrived KANDAHAR in the afternoon. Because there was no parking facility available for our camping and we could not find a proper parking area in the city, we chose to park our campervan overnight at the hotel ground, which was not far from the city center.

There were pomegranate trees with some fruits where we parked.
