TORKHAM – PAKISTAN/AFGHANISTAN
15/4/25 We considered the price of taking a cab to Karkhano Market, on the western edge of Peshawar, and then finding a shared taxi onwards to Torkham, but instead chose to take the not-much-more-expensive but certainly more convenient route of ordering an InDrive for the 60km journey. The Torkham Border, as it is known, is

PESHAWAR – PAKISTAN
14/4/25 – 15/4/25 After arriving at Pirwadhai, in Rawalpindi – after our ridiculous journey from Gilgit-Baltistan, we had a short walk to the top of the street to find buses going to Peshawar.

10/4/25 En-route to Pakistan, my flight itinerary had left me with a fabulous morning layover in the Malaysian capital – enough time to head out into the city for a wander, and plenty of opportunity to fill up on food! My Batik Airways flight landed on-time in KL at a touch after 5am – and

TIRANA – ALBANIA
18/12/24 – 20/12/24 By the time we landed in Tirana, after our long travel day, it was already close to midnight! Luckily, we were off the plane quickly, and Albania’s e-Gate system made for fast passage through passport control – our next step was to find the Luna bus, which operates between the airport and
