Kabul

Written by on Saturday, April 18, 1970

Slept late this morning. Beautiful day sun blazing, the lake looks good with the snow on the Hindu Kush  behind. Went shopping in Kabul for fruit and bread, got my shoes mended in the bazaar, looks really oriental in there, vegies very cheap. Changed £25 into rupees and £10 into US Dollars got 730 rupees, official rate is 17 r for 1, and $23.50 doubles for £10 though we got 32?

The river in the town is used for everything crapping in others cleaning their teeth and washing in it, while some are washing their vegies in it! all along the banks piles of shit.

Couldn’t find LD for over an hour, Stayed in at night and smoked hash cant feel anything from it I don’t think!!

Dam just outside Kabul (Banda Kaghar)
