One of Central Asia's most holiest city. More than just magnificent !
Bukhara 1 - Samarkand 0 : our favourite ancient city so far in Uzbekistan.
Apart from wonderful medressas and mosques there is an incredible array of old city lanes to get lost in and pass the time away. The locals are soooo friendly and chatty -you will definitely be invited into their homes for cups of tea or be pushed to join in a game of football. Raimon is like a fake Lionel Messi from Barcelona and Stephie an awesome dutchie with the ball. And we flew our new kite in one of the many squares of Bukhara and then it broke ! Cheap chinese Kashgar junk...!
The city is also full of colourful russian ladas transporting far too many tourist suitcases or practically the furniture of a whole living room (see seperate photo entry).
And who said food in Central Asia is disappointing....we had amazing russian style soups, delicious juicy kebabs, lots of bread and risotto (Plov) cooked by a local family....just don't come to Uzbekistan as a strict vegetarian and expect tooooo much! It's hard to avoid the meat here !
