Samarkand

A good night out in Samarkand. Out for a local dinner and then onto a club with hip hop dancing small people and belly dancers. A few beers and Uzbeck vodka made for an entertaining evening

A rest day in Samarkand a really beautiful and important City on the Silk Road. James wasn't feeling particularly well this morning but we battled out site seeing. The
Madrassar's are spectacular, the city clean and the locals friendly. It's been a very nice relaxing day. We both decided to do nothing to the car. She's running and let's just hope she continues.

Tomorrow is entirely different. The border crossing into Turkmenistan is going to be testing to say the least. 360km to the border, 40km on the other side into what might be a seriously weird country. Petrol seems to be the problem here in Samarkand let's hope that we can get some tomorrow!

All's well and we motor on.
