25th day Tues 6th May 2014

Uneventful 4 and a half hour journey except for another police check point stoppage ,all be it a minor one – Passports please!!

Initial thoughts as we entered and drove through Sumarkand,was that this too was a lovely ,clean and pleasant city.I should not be surprised any more ,but still am about how well developed some of the cities we have travelled through really are.Guilty of possibly making some incorrect assumptions!

Photos of the city roads,hotel gardens ( still averaging £20 / head hotel accommodation costs per person per night! Curtesy of booking .com and recommendation from Lonely Planet Guide – Airb&b initially)

Photos of The Amir Temur Mausoleum ,Kids playing in the vast open space,a little bit of the night and restaurant .Finally me learning to count the local currency ,which is approx 4,000 Som to the pound – so you are always having to carry wads around with you!
