A day in Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan)
Oh dear this was really boring we docked about 10 o'clock and then set about the usual border stuff we finished about 19:00. The issue seems to be every time you pay for something you have to have two different receipts hand written in triplicate. After talking with the person issuing the receipts it looks like you could get round the bottleneck by having one person pay for all the bikes however you're not allowed to do this unless you have a document officially identifying one person as the tour leader. No matter how we tried we couldn't get the receipt writer to accept Kev as the leader we tried every document we had but none were acceptable. All the crew took the delays stoically and we got to the usual Turkmenbashy hotel in reasonable humour.
