Afghanistan

Written by on Wednesday, April 15, 1970

Through the Afghan frontier without any problems, Gave a lift to a couple travelling to Herat. Had a meal in a café approx 1/3 for rice and meat etc. Went to the couples room to smoke hash, he bought a large piece freely in a shop and also a water pipe to smoke it. Bev was really gone I think I experienced an awareness of my own surroundings all the colours seemed to be brilliant with lots of contrast and noise seemed to be coming from all around. The hotel was full of junkies 25 Afganis a night, and they just stayed in there smoking hash and doing drugs, on the walls marks from needle spurts. Afghani people seem really nice and a proud race.

Saw vulture dead on road. The difference between here and Iran is amazing its much more civilised and natural, really beautiful country.
