Trip to Mazar-e Sharif , 31.8. - 2.9.
Konečně se můj vysněný výlet stal skutečností. Už od začátku mého pobytu v Afghánistánu jsem chtěla navštívit Mazar-e Sharif, město na severo-západě země.
Minulý víkend jsme se donutila Mika konečně jet. Jeli jsme přímou autobusovou linkou Kabul-Mazare. Autobus byl docela pohodlný (no,..stará německá karosa), cesta trvala kolem 8hodin. Vyjeli jsme v 5 ráno z Kábulu, v polovině cesty jsme se zastavili na tradiční afghánskou snídani ... no vpodstatě totéž co se jí na oběd ... rýže, maso, omáčka, chleba a čaj.
V Mazare nás měl na autobusovém nádraží čekat kamarád od Jamsheda. Ale ještě než ten dorazil, tak úplně náhodou kolem projížděl jeden kluk, které byl z Mazarské delegace na NATO/AIESEC konferneci. Byl tesně předtím odvézt rodiče na autobus do Kábulu, takže jak jel kolem tak nás uviděl, nasáčkoval do auta a odvezl k němu domů na čaj a ovoce. Jaká náhoda! Bohužel oba - já i Mike - jsme si mysleli že je to ten Jamshedův známý... no a nebyl. Ten chudák dorazil na nádraží, ale my už tam nebyli... takže byl docela zamtený.. no nakonec se všechno vysvětlilo a bylo to vpohodě.
Ten můj známý nám pomohl najít guesthouse, a na druhý den jsme se dohodli na sraz u Modré mešity - Modrá mešita je největší a asi jediná známá turistická atrakce z Mazare.
Modrá mešita/Blue mosque
Balkh je velmi historická oblast, také je jedna z částí Afghánistánu, která byla zasažena nejvíc útoky mongolů, je tu obrovská hradba na ochranu, velmi stará mešita ve vesnici Balch a uprostřed polí stojí nejstarší mešita v celém Afghánistánu. Po průzkumu okolí nás pozval řidič do domu jeho bratra na domácí jogurt a caj.

Večer jsme se ubytovali u Yaquba, vstávali jsme ve 3h ráno abysme stihli autobus zpět do Kábulu.
Tento výlet jsem si fakt užila, bylo to úplně super!

Finally the dream trip became reality. I wanted to go to Mazar-e Sharif (city on the north west) since the beginning of my stay in Afghanistan.
Last weekend I forced Mike to finally go. We took a bus going directly from Kabul to Mazar. It was quite comfortable (well, old German karosa), the journy took around 8 hours. We started at 5 a.m. and in the middle of the way we stopped at one of the restaurants along the way for a typical afghan breakfast.. well basically the same as we would eat for lunch .. rice, meat, sauce, bread and tea.
In Mazar there was a friend of Jamshed suppose to pick us up at the bus station and help us to find some hostel. Luckily enough before his guy arrived someone else showed up - one of the guys from Mazar delegation at the NATO/AIESEC conference. He was passing by the road, as he was dropping of his parents for the bus to Kabul, he remebered me so stopped, load us to the car and took us to his house for tea and some fruits. What a coincedience! Unfortunately poor friend of Jamshed arrived to the place as unfortunately both me and Mike though that the other guy is friend of Jamshed .. so kind of confusion right from the beginning but that got sorted out.
Well anyhow this friend of mine helped us to find a guesthouse and we met the next day in the Blue mosque to walk around and chill out. Blue mosque is the biggest and i guess the only known tourist attraction in Mazar.

So on Friday we walked a bit around the city, went to see the Blue Mosque a litte, on Saturday we met up and were around the mosque for a while and then we got a contact from Waheedullah F. to his friend Yaqub. So we went to meet him to his work and Yaqub and his two collegues from work took us for the afternoon trip to the countryside, area called Balkh.
Balkh is one of the parts of Afghanistan which got attacked the most by Mongolians, there is a huge fence around the place, very old mosque in the village of Balch and in the middle of the fields the oldes mosque in the country.

After such a nice programme we went to sleep to Yaqub´s place as we had to get up at 3 a.m. to catch the morning bus on Sunday back to Kabul.
It was very very nice trip! I enjoyed a lot.

Takže v pátek jsme trochu pochodili po městě, podívat se k Modré mešitě, v sobotu jsme se sešli s naším známým u meštiy, strávili tam nějaký čas a pak jsme zavolali známému od Waheedully F., Yaqubovi a sešli se s ním v jeho práci. Yaqub a jeho dva kolegové pro nás připravili odpolední výlet to oblasti zvané Balkh.
