Too late to call, but you simply MUST visit the Sunday animal market in Kashgar; it's incredible! Turpan is a MUST too. Border crossing btn China & Kyrgyzstan & across the Tien Shan mountains is unbelievable! Good Luck! The warmth of the Islamic people throughout Western China to Istanbul is wonderful Have travelled extensively, & the Silk Rd is by far, the most memorable trip in the World.

I have just two words of advice for you: WINTER DIESEL We found ourselves in Turkey at -20 degrees C with what could best be described as a tank full of wax. Two hours with a camping stove under the fuel tank got us going again. Western countries stick a special additive in diesel to stop it 'waxing' in the cold. Less developed countries expect you to stick a bottle of said additive in as you see fit. Oh, and if you carry no other spares, make sure you have a spare diesel filter for the lumps you are likely to encounter! Have a GREAT trip. Brings back happy memories of our own similar exploits in 2000. Cheers, Martin. Hi Guys.

Enjoy this time together, it's a truly wonderful thing you're sharing together and no matter the trials of frustration it will bring, they will be recalled as an integral part of this life experience. I've always dreamed of doing something similar with my adult kids (I live in hope one day they will want to reconnect with their dad again) and we 'get to rediscover each other as adults'. So your trip has meaning to many of us onlookers and our prays go with you both and hopefully it comforts Jan to know that we're company in your adventure. Have a great time, stay safe and see you back home in early 2009.
