8.564 km - Uzbekistan, a pleasant break on the Silk Road

After cracking all our bones on Turkmenistan’s roads, we made it to pleasant Uzbekistan. It´s been two nice days in the country driving along the “silk road” with some fellow ralliers we met on the way and enjoying wonderful cities such as Bukhara and Samarqand. It´s definitely a country to come back to, but next time not rallying…

 Above, Bukhara pictures.

Besides the pictures, some quick facts of our stay in Uzbekistan: 

1, The “blue beast” got hurt in the belly by a rock. We went to the doctor (mechanic) and confirmed us that he was okay. Just a bit of stomach ache. 

2. Petrol in Uzbekistan is amazingly expensive: 60 cents/liter. We preferred the one in Turkmenistan: 15 cents/litre  ;-)

3. The biggest bill is 1.000 som (local currency), which is around 0,3 cents of euro. It´s a nice feeling to change a hundred euros in som and get around 350 bills which do not fit in the wallet! We feel like being rich!
