Out of the desert from Turkmenistan and across the border, which took a surprisingly long time while we waited in no-man's land for the border guards to come off their lunch break. We had a day in Nukus, the capital of the semi-autonomous Karakalpakstan, before our train.
Recovered a bit from the Turkmenistan whistlestop tour and stayed at a bizarre little guesthouse the highlight of which was the owner knocking on our door and asking us to "give me money".
Apparently we didn't take any photos except at the Savitsky museum, which was the collection of Russian avant-garde art that he managed to hide from the Soviets in this quiet backwater. Elli thought it was amazing, Chris thought it was an art gallery, we both got hungry and spent the rest of the day eating pizza and waiting for a very long train.Read more
