One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking across Inly pass in Tajikistan. There is truly neglected one line dirt road with the highest point at 3200m. During the time of my travel it was under construction and cars were allowed to use it only after about 8pm. What means dark in a mountains, yeah. The truck I`ve hitched climbed steadily and the magnificent Pamir landscape cheered everything up. Until all of sudden fog, rain and darkness ceased all the pleasure. While there were no road markings (and pretty much the roa itself) at all and the road angle didn`t allowed to stop the truck, I had to run for some while before the vehicle with two strong touches in order to find the road. The driver had smoked 2 packs of cigarettes for those couple of hours.
