Currently in Tashkent, capital city of Uzbekistan. Uzbekisatn has been a fantastic country. The people seem very content with their lives, despite their sometimes harsh lives,and are extremely friendly to us scruffy overlanders. Everyone wants to know where we are from and what we are doing. Every fountain, of which there are numerous in each city centre, has young children playing in it and having a great time. The countryside in the main is flat along with patchs of desert, although a well laid out irrigation system makes most of the land fertile. The history is quite hard to take in purely because there is so much of it and it's hard to comprehend the time scale of events.
Going to explore Tashkent later and have a mooch around and as always on this trip the weather is great!!
