the flight to Kabul

We drove to Herat Airport with the Italians, and flew to Kabul with
the Germans. This is indeed if you hadn't noticed yet quite the
international venture! The flight took about 1.5 hours and should
have been the longest portion of the trip, but as you know now it
wasn't, and little did we know at the time what ordeal was waiting
for us after we landed. But here are some pictures from this portion
of the trip, I was fortunate to have access to a window to record the
memorable landscape that is Afghanistan. You might notice some roads
and villages that must be pretty much in the middle of nowhere hidden
somewhere in the mountains.
