Left Khiva for Bukhara in Uzbeckistan at 9.15am via visiting visiting on route first,Guldursun Qula – a big empty fort .Built in the first century(2000 years old!!!)
Arrived at 6pm having travelled about 350 miles – another full day of driving
It was a long drive fairly uneventful ,with the usual long stretches,extreme pot holes and duel carriageways which regularly criss -crossed – so had to be attentive of on coming vehicles.

Our hotel in Bukhara was located in a square called Labi-haus Cente .Its buzzing and appeared cosmopolitan looking with lot of tourists.Russians have a vast area to have their holidays in,when you consider their history with these regions ,French and other Europeans too
