Khiva at dawn

Khiva minaret at dawn

Middle of nowhere


After an early start (5 am is early for me) and a last few dawn photos of Khiva, the truck set off for Bukhara. Only 470 km over a paved road..... Problem is we were not on the brand new road. We drove for hours on a bumpy pot holed road, right next to a new concrete highway, not opened due to "political" reasons best known by those who know. Apparently built by German, Chinese and other foreign companies, there are issues preventing it from being driven on, thus a 10 hr drive to Bukhara.

Tomorrow I'll explore the town in more detail.
