Osh, Kyrgyzstan (again) - 11,232 miles from London

Having traveled through Tajikistan (see last entry) and Uzbekistan we are back in Osh preparing to make the crossing into China on Monday morning that will mark the end of our time in the Stans. Below are some pictures from Uzbekistan and a few from Osh.

The Registan Samarkand, Uzbekistan

"Loads of money" - not really, this is a US$100 worth of Uzbek currency (the Sum) which has clearly been subjected to serious inflation

The Abul Aziz Khan Medressa, Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Eric and Rachel, who we hung out with in Uzbekistan, playing pool (badly - as were we!) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Trademark and copyright infringements galore at McDonalds, in Osh Bazaar, Kyrgyzstan

Tom and Eric. A different Eric to the one we met in Uzbekistan. This Eric is a biker riding from Japan to Denmark. We met him in Osh after months of correspondence and the checking of each other's blogs. We wish him well, particularly with the journey from Osh to the Tajik border which, from all accounts, does not sound like anything resembling a road!
