Afghan Elections

Here we go again - this is where I am for those who don’t know- Kabul in Afghanistan.

The blue dots now show where we are and have been.

We have aslo done two trips out of town. One to a President Karzai rally in Ghazni and another up north to the Mazar-e Sharif on the edge of the hindu kush with the British Army. We flew up there on a transport plane - which was an expereince - noisy and not bumby but vibrational. You can see why the Afghans have never been conqurered because the terrain though quite stunningis really really tough to negotiate.

My camera has broken so I need to send it back to the UK to be fixed in the mean time I am reliying on photos from Richard and for this trip an Army photographer - Cpl Rob Knight.
