On the road again,…
After driving 270km through "flat" country again, we reached Samarqand by 2 o'clock. Roads are slightly better, but average speed does not go above 70km/h. We enjoyed cultivated landscape and responded to amused waiving kids along the road. Donkey car and overloaded Lada's were the main topics of interests before arriving in the most mythic city of the Silk Road, Samarqand, still resonating in the poets imagination.
Upon dropping our cars and luggage at Zarina B&B, we headed for a walking afternoon through the Samarqand highlights: Registan, Bibi-Kkanym Mosque, Shah-i-Zinda Mausoleums and the Guri Amir Mausoleum. The photos speak for themselves so far.
Herewith we completed the most important historical places along the Silk Road on our route, time again to explore some nature.
To be continued…
