A few days later, we
continued our trip in Afghanistan. We travelled to Kandahar without problems.
Our flight was punctual and the weather was good, so a good start to explore a
new city.
Here, we also
explored the culture of the city. But also walked a lot because of the good
weather. It was exhausting because the sun was shining. We also walked a couple
of times in the wrong direction because we walked alone with just a map of the
city and country. Fortunately, we walked quickly correct on our itinerary. Personally,
I think it was interesting to explore the city on foot than by bus or car. I
really enjoyed this walk. If it were up to me, we would do this more. We also
can do this by bike, which sounds also pleasant.
We passed some
interesting curiosities in the mean time. We first saw the Mausoleum of Baba
Wali. It was named after a person who was believed to be a notable person but
not much is known about his and the Mausoleum.
We also walked the
along the mosque of the Cloak of the Prophet Mohammed. It is one of the holiest
sites in Afghanistan. It contains a cloak, what was used by Prophet Mohammed.
It was locked away inside until 1996.
After our walk, we
also visited a museum, namely Kandahar Museum. This museum has paintings of
Ghiyasuddin. He was regarded as one of the most important painters of all time
of Afghanistan. His works can be considered as personal documentation of the
vibrations he senses.
After we had visited
the museum, we decided to eat at a restaurant. The dishes were tasty, but I
personally still prefer the Belgian cuisine. After dining, we went to bed after
a tiring day. Up to Iran!
