Kabul

Written by on Sunday, April 19, 1970

Sunshine all day again, just lazing about, wrote home. We were invited down to a spawning ground for trout at the bottom of the Dam by the man who runs it, it was very interesting too, the wages for him in Afghanistan (and he’s a qualified vet) are $22 a month and the workers get about 600 afghan a month about £5, they are very nice people.  Have been teaching some kids English. Spent last night chatting to an English couple in there camper, telling us their experiences and they have had quite a few! They reckon we could make a lot of money in Asia. At the side of the Dam where we’re camping there are 8 wild dogs, one is ‘King’ scar faced half his ear missing,  they guard us (we have been feeding them) if anyone comes near, only Afghanis, they go mad barking and chase them away. Syl thought someone was trying to get into the tent one morning and it was the “King” dog who was lying next to her between the tent and flysheet.

The wild dogs who watched over us at Lake Kaghar, Kabul. They wouldn’t let the local people near us. The boss, sitting, had lots of battle scars
