From the start, I have been very lucky with my visas. Until I want to enter China. Here is the second part of my round-the-world cycle tour.

It's my first real rest since I left last March. Ten days in the Kyrgyz capital where I take the opportunity to chat and plan the rest of my journey.

Through the Kyrgyz mountains my shortcut looks more like a climbing wall than a road. Never mind, it is too late to go back.

I had to find the exception to the good world rule at least once.

We are at the beginning of October when I leave Osh for the north of the country. The weather is good, a soft sun is shining, and the Kyrgyz people are smiling at me.

After entering Kyrgyzstan from the south, I head to Osh, where a single email will bring me a lot of new friends.

The last kilometers in Tajikistan will have taken place in the image of the country: high passes, a horrible road, and an illicit payment at the border!
