After a very relaxing and pleasant night and a nice breakfast, we left from Alec’s home.

2Day 36: The green side of Uzbekistan

Day 36: The green side of Uzbekistan

Apr 28, 2017

Uzbekistan so far has not impressed me at all with very repetitive landscapes with some hundreds of kilometers going through semi-dry flats. But after Samarqand, Uzbekistan changes. First you see beautiful green hills and impressive mountains in the east. The land is very fertile here, there are forests, grassland as far as you can see […]

Apr 27, 2017

After three days of cycling, we left the bikes at the hostel today and went exploring the historic city of Samarkand, once one of the greatest cities of Central Asia due to the strategic location along the Silk Road.

Day 34: Finally reaching Samarqand

Apr 26, 2017

After spending the night at a drunk guy’s home we needed to cycle around 90 km to finally reach our target Samarqand after in total three days of cycling. The road was basically a not very frequented highway, was just like the other two days mainly flat, and had around 10-20 km of very bad […]

We were hoping that the conditions are a bit more in our favor today. Starting at sunrise In […]

After the relaxing sightseeing day in Bukhara the time had come to start the 270 km transfer to Samarqand, the next historic city on our roadmap in Uzbekistan.

7Day 31: Bukhara

Day 31: Bukhara

Apr 23, 2017

Today our bicycles stayed in the hotel and we went visiting the historical center of Bukhara. The whole historical center is like a big architectural museum, and combined with the perfect weather today, visiting the fortress, mosques, courtyards or mausoleums was very exciting. Getting SIM Card and local currency As in every country we visited, […]

Today was one of the typical transit days on bicycle.

The total distance to be covered is slightly more than 115 km. Passing the borders We […]
