Another interesting sight was the Crescent Lake amidst the Gobi Desert. 17 days later, they crossed over to Kyrgyzstan after a 22-hour road journey due to a delay at the China border.
Following were the countries of Uzbekistan, where they interacted with a lady with a golden smile – due to her golden teeth; Kazakhstan, where they took a picture at the exact spot where the Microsoft Windows screen image was photographed; and finally, they entered the city of Moscow in Russia where they learnt it is a criminal offence to drive a dirty car. Soon, they were in Prague in the Czech Republic – making this the 13th country on their list.
Interestingly, the Czech Republic is the only country to have not been bombed during World War II, thus leaving its architecture intact.
Proceeding this was their final journey to London, which entailed a 900 kilometre drive that involved breakfast in the Czech Republic, lunch in Germany, tea in the Netherlands, and dinner in Belgium. Post driving through the White Cliffs of Dover and The English Channel, the Jatias finally reached London after a long but worthy 49 days. As predicted, they were on Westminster Bridge on the 1st of June at 5pm. Truly, this duo evinces C.S. Lewis’ timeless
quote, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” Or experience the world from a different perspective – even if it’s behind a windshield.
