The first camels began to cross the Swiss adventurers’ path, and the landscape took on a desert-like appearance. After Uzbekistan, the group approached the border crossing into Kazakhstan. Although the caravan had made an early start and appeared at the border post in Taraz at 6:00 S O U T H E R N a.m., the crossing was closed, as was another that should have been open 40 kilometers farther on. Some 60 kilometers and no less than two hours later, the group finally found a border post where they were allowed to cross into Kazakhstan. Crossing the Tash Rabat plateau in Kyrgyzstan A U S T R A L I A at 3,100 meters’ elevation, the snow-covered peaks, marmots and edelweiss reminded the travelers strongly of Switzerland.
