@murg Definitely I will send the letter from Osh then, it is actually from where I was thinking to do it. So any detail that you could tell me will be great! Thank you guys for the feedback! Unfortunately I can't recall the details, like where we've posted the cards. It's been a Standard Post Offic...

Hi there,

in 2019 we've send several postcards

The ones we posted in Buchara never made it to Germany.

Osh & Dushanbe worked just fine.

Be aware that the postcards from Osh arrived within about 10 days while the ones posted in Dushanbe took considerably longer.

Enjoy the Stans,
Dave

Hi there! Never heard of a ferry. You could ship the vehicle and take a train. Shipment will take time to organize & cost a Fortune. Indian customs are time consuming and nerve wrecking. Pakistan customs are Not used to the process, but works quite OK. A friend shipped 2 motorbikes from Karachi to E...

As long as you stay in the M41 you should be fine.

If you intend to drive the southern route/Wakhan:
ground clearance, good tires etc. are important.

And yes... Suspension! Important!
