Birt in Asia

Birt in Pakistan making friends with the local trucks. Other truck drivers from around the world always love stopping for a chat. |

The truck at the top of a 5,200m road pass in Tibet. You could see about 300miles of the Himalayas in the background as we stopped for a meal. |

Gathering yet more crowds in central China. We have a map of the route on the side of the truck and the locals love it when you show them where you have come from. |
Prayer flags blowing in the winds tied to the back of the truck in Tibet. |
Sometimes the roads are just a bit on the poor side. This section was a frozen river and about 5 miles on we had to cross a glacier with just a notch cut out of the ice. |
