Bukhara

Stayed in the old Jewish quarter. This is the city that makes the bukhara rugs with the famous 'elephant' footprints

1st we visited the Ismail Samani Mausoleum. Then visited various mosques, madrassas, palaces and the castle. Amazing places I lost track of all the names. BUT I'm so glad I went back to see it again so touristy. Also amazing to walk around at night with all the old buildings lit up.
The next day we took the train to Samarkand after visiting a local Russian palace.

PS. This is where I saw a camel with deflated humps!Read more
