Here are some photos of our trip to Khiva, Uzbekistan:
Police cut out cars to get guilty drivers to slow down when they spot a police car ahead
Big potholes and sand drifts on the way to Khiva
Bridge on road to Khiva – shared between trains and road users – there was a police man waving road traffic through, but it did feel strange
We eventually found out hotel outside one of the main ancient city gates, hot, tired, dusty and sweaty – quick shower, lots of cold water and I set off to explore while the lighting was beautiful.
