Samarkand 15th May 2010

Samarkand is beautiful. So many beautiful mosques and mausoleums. The Registan and Shah-i-Zinden mausoleum are particularly spectacular. The town is a mixture of old arabic-style and soviet straight streets with modern buildings. We had poblems finding a good internet connection so I don't know when I will be able to put the photos I took on to flickr.

The people in Uzbekistan seem to be very friendly wherever we go. they stop and talk to us and are interested in who we are, where we come from, if we like Uzbekistan, where we are going next. Most people speak very good Russian and some speak some English.
