Uzbekistan

It took us 5 days of good cycling in the south of Uzbekistan (the best here yet) and then we crossed the border easily to find a great host in Dushanbe and prepare for the Pamir.

Continuing to Samarqand we went down the mountain and past small villages among cotton fields with local markets to reach the majestic city with many blue domes where we met many likeminded travellers.

Traveling along the Silk Road brought us to many beautiful buildings and let us meet nice people along the way. Here we travel from Bukhara to Nurata.

After the border rituals we took some time to relax and have a nice lunch in the shade. We then head for Bukhara, still with headwind and enjoy a few days in this beautiful old city.
