Today we see archaeological sites, go through passport control and then Samarkand. Some very interesting people on the tour with first class guides but what the tours dont give is time to wander the streets. Its all much more tiring keeping to some elses schedule also all the talk when I am used to the quiet. Nevertheless the conversations are informative and often quite intellectual.

First stop the amazing archarologucal site of Sarazan which dates back 4000 years and is now a world heritage site.
Lunch in the art cafe.
The monument is Lenin so there is still a Russian connection which is surprising.
I"m always amused at what a hotel thinks is necessary. It used to be a trouser press, here in the Bellagio it is a giant wooden shoe horn.
My knees have had a hard day I hope the physio will agree something needs to be done.
We were fed at a national house, a family who host visitors. Nice idea.
Two nights in this hotel gives time for washing to dry.
