We did not see our farmer friend so drove north again.Samarkand is another town of the famed Silk Road. We parked in a carpark at the end of the old town and then found a place to eat.
Disappointing food at tourist prices. We did share a beer
which was enjoyable in the heat.
Little boys are the same everywhere!!!
A
wander around the three remaining Madrasa (Islam schools). These have
had an enormous amount of restoration work on them. The old photos
show that very few of the walls were remaining. The works started in
the 1930’s.
We
were told that each scholar had a room each and that the teacher
would give one to one education to them in their rooms.
Onto a bumpy slow road to find a camp.
In the late afternoon the animals are brought back home.
Water is collected from the local well or tap.
I emailed Heatso about whether our stove had shipped and received a
tracking number in return.
Sad
thing is it is due on Friday! A week away.
