Our new friends left and we did a bit more work on photos
and blog. I just seem to get a week behind in a couple of days. We
left close to midday and headed towards our border crossing.
In places the sand dunes had these little stick squares put in I assume to hold the sand in place.
The road was bad
for the next 120km’s and we spent a bit of it driving down the
unsealed new road which had not seen any machines for a long while .
At
the turn off to Dashoguz and one border crossing our road became
even more uncomfortable and slow.
We
arrived into Konye-Urgench about 5pm and drove around a bit. Spent most
of our local cash on diesel then found a little store on map (would
not have noticed it if we drove past) and bought some yogurt with
the remaining cash.
The tallest minaret in central Asia.
Walked
around the mausoleums then found a little camp by the river. Just in
sight of the road.
It
was very hot .
