Day 62. Dushanbe.
First thing I took the bike in to have a fork seal replaced, luckily I brought 2 sets with me. The man was very nice and I could tell straight away he knew what he was doing just by the way he handled his tools. I offered to prep the bike by removing the fork leg but he was having none of it. Made a really good job, bike all back together 200 Somoni or $31NZ and would not take a penny more. So big ups to Aziek Rabiev of Bike House Dushanbe. We spent most if the rest if the day with chores. Robyn started to wash some of our clothes and decided to include the bike gear. Filled up the bath and watched the water turn into a black hole. The cleaning lady arrived just then and saw the bath. No no no no. I will do that for you. So out of the bath comes this black sludgy thing and this afternoon returns brand new bike gear. Two months of road grime adds up, especially in this part of the world. We then went off in search of money and SIM cards. ATM in the Hilton hotel, why aren’t we stay...
