Uzbekistan a couple of Silk Road wonders!!

This is true Silk Road country we explored the amazing cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samerkand. These cities still seem like living monuments. What makes it even more special are the people.























































































































Kyrgyzstan, forget the history for a while check out these landcapes and friendly people!!!

This picture sums up Kyrgyzstan totally everybody was blown away by the scenery and open space. You could just head out and walk almost anywhere. We spent many great days free camping or living with local families in there yerts, the traditional tent of the Stans.




















































































Fancy dress all gone wrong, name out of a hat and US$5 to by your person and outfit in the local market, everybody got well involved!

Been a fantastic crosssing across the Tibeten plateua, though had some crazy weather and found we had to drive through a major snow storm to be able to camp, even so ended up cooking a dinner at eleven at night with the snow falling. As mentioned before not much of the writer and my spelling is terrible and to top it all the computer runs a Mandarin spell check so not really an option. But here goes with some great photo's.
