Karavānām, kas plūda uz Persiju, te beidzās drošais, Lielā Ķīnas mūra sargātais ceļš. Izejot cauri Jiayuguanas vārtiem, tās gaidīja klinšaini kalni, neauglīgas stepes, tuksneši un mežonīgās barbaru ciltis, kas klejoja šajās teritorijās....

Mūsu priekšā tagad ir tikai smiltis. Vēl viena oāze un būsim pie Sahāras malas. Ceļš taisns kā strīpa. Laikam te nemaz tik bieži nebraukā, jo šie divi ēzeļi nepakustējās no vietas ne pa...
uz Sahāru! Augusta sākumā nolaižamies Āfrikā. Apkārt viss tik zaļš, ka sākam bažīties, vai neesam sajaukuši kontinentus. Mums jānotrāpa tajā laukumiņā starp asajiem niedru lietussargiem. Dažiem no tiem ir uztīti pamatīgi pīķi,...
