KABUL
Woke up early, it was very cold last night. The inside temperature on our wall thermometer was 10* C, probably the outside temp might be lower around 0 degree because water in the stream was very cold and frost in some places.

After having breakfast at the kind Afghan‘s home, we set out on our trip to KABUL . Our Afghan host also asked to take a ride with us, together with his wife and children to KABUL .

We drove through HAJIGAK PASS , where the sky is dark blue, bright and beautiful , probably because of the high altitude up to 3,700 meters. with no pollution.
Nearly all the way, we were crossing with nomadic herder migrating on foot to the south with the caravan, camels, donkeys and goats, chickens and dogs until we reached the UNION PASS ( 3,300 meters high ) and MAIDAN respectively.
On the way back from the Great Buddha site in BAMIYAN to KABUL near the UNION PASS, we spotted the cliff with unique rock
formation, It looks like an Afghan man's head wearing a turban facing our way.

We arrived in KABUL about 3.00 p.m. with our campervan fully covered by dust, both outside and inside…..that took us time to sweep and clean all around. Anyhow, it was worth the excitement and the beauty of nature , etc. , we have seen along the way.
