The Ark

Before the emir Said Ah Kahn fled to exile in Afghanistan, The Ark was the fortified residence of the emir.

Før emir Said Ah Kahn flyktet i eksil til Afghanistan, var fortet Arken boligen til emiren.

Caught off guard

Being an emir was probably not an easy task in the sizzling heat, but beauties were probably abound.

Å være en emir var trolig ikke bare bare i den stekende heten, men skjønnheter i ens nærvær var det trolig overflod av.

Skinnydip

Some of the locals decided to swim naked, I kept my boxer shorts on, and
kept my mouth over water cause the water was rather murky.

Noen av de lokale svømte nakne, men jeg beholdt boxer shortsen på, og hold
hodet over vannet for vannkvaliteten var vel heller tvilsom.

My only souvernir

On my whole journey I only bought one souvenir (1 rmb!, and I still wear it), a wristband which I was bemused to have a cute girl attach to my leg (and the 3 others was “copy-cats”). In the end we had a masseuse think this was a new trend for we visited a massage center twice in Xinjiang with a few days in between, and the girl the gave Morten a massage, by chance later also gave my brother a massge.

På hele min lange ferd, kjøpte jeg kun en suvernir (for 1kr!, og jeg går med den fortsatt), ett armbånd som jeg synes det var litt underholdene at den unge selger dama skull knyte rundt leggen min (og de tre andre kjøpte også som “copy-cats”). En massøse som senere masserte Morten og tilfeldigvis også Tor A med noen dagers mellomrom lurte på hva dette var for noen ny trend?

The 4th cabin passenger

Before Sturla joined us, we travelled with 1 stranger in cabins for 4 people. Normally there would some boring old fart, but this time we were quite lucky. Here travelling onwards to Samarkand.

Før Sturla sluttet seg til gruppen, reiste vi med en fremmed i togkupene for 4 personer. Normalt ville det være en eller annen uinteressant person, men denne gangen var vi iallfall litt heldig. Her på vei til Samarkand.

The Registan Square

Maybe the single most impressive point on our entire travel, breath taking!

Registan square/”plassen” var trolig det imponerende enestående stoppet på hele turen.

In pursuit of the best view

To get the best view of the square, we bribed a guard with some small money and we were allowed to go to the top of one of the minarets.

For å de beste oversiktsbildene, matte vi gi noen småpenger til en vakt slik at vi kunne klatre opp i toppen på en av minaretene.

Sneak peak

Pretty impressive, even on the way up!

Nokså imponerende selv på veien opp!

Luftig utsikt, burde tatt 360 graders bilde men det får være til neste gang.
