Today is the last day ! We spent 4 days in Samarkand and its time for us to go. Tomorrow we are heading to Bukkara. Another great Silk road city.
260km to go.
Motorbikes are ready, full tank + extra full tank. I take the opportunity to change all my break pads. There were not completely dead but then i am not carrying them anymore, getting lighter and lighter, thats the concept.
Samarkand was a good experience between culture, tradition and architecture. The disappointment is the food and the pricing in general. Uzbekistan is very expensive and on the top, locals does not count very well and make lots of mistakes on the bills. Sometime, we are even not sure they do it in purpose.
The other stupid things is the local money. We are carrying tons and tons of notes in our pockets. Their biggest note is 5000 ( which is 1.7E) but very rare, so everybody is using 1000 som (0.34E).
Last night, we had a diner and the bill was 83,000 (30Euro), i let you imagine, carrying 83 notes of 1000. When you pay the bill, you need at least 10 min to count. Thats pretty stupid !
Anyway, we are happy, hotel is nice and we met lots of travelers, especially a french couple traveling with a Renault Master from France to Mongolia with their 2 years old daughter.
Georges, Susi and their lovely daughter Nina stayed at the same Hotel than us and we were happy to exchange roads condition and tips, as they are coming from the opposite way of us. You can follow them here http://www.allersimple.eu
Tonight will be quiet, a quick diner, shower and sleep early. Tomorrow alarm will be 5am and departure 5.30am...
