Turkmenbasi to Ashgabat
Oh dear KUDU cockup day today. Because we were late of the ferry we had to make up an extra day by riding into Ashgabat in a single day, That of course was not their fault, however come lunch time a miscommunication meant that there was no food on the truck a big mistake cos in 40 degree temperatures you can't stand around for long. Most of the guys b*****ed of to find their own lunch while myself and a few hung about waiting for the food, which did eventually arrive along with a rather good melon very nice!
Then unfortunately the situation went down hill again when we came to check in at the hotel we discovered it was a class one dump. The carpets were filthy, the walls were peeling and damp,the air con either didn't work or was so noisy you couldn't hear yourself think, the doors had all been jemmied open at some time so the locks offered no security at all and finally they had no bar and only 10 cans of lager to drink. I had to move my bed to get away from the noise of the air con only to find a selection of used condom packets under the bed, in short a disaster.. The general consensus was that the hotel was used as a knocking shop most of the time.
