We were supposed to leave Aksu at 8 in the morning, but the bus, once again, is not moving. But now we are really going through the desert!
Stopping in a Small Town on the Way
At some point we pass Artux, and arrive in Kashgar at around 20:30. We take a room in a terrible hotel – together with the Swiss-Israeli couple we befriended in Turfan. We will look for a nicer place tomorrow, but for now the only thing we crave is a hot shower!
