OK I admit it, I lost my map again. I know we're in Turkmenistan, and we are 366 miles from Samarkand (I'm very excited about this, as I've always wanted to go there).
We passed through Ichoguz (formerly Darvaza) to see its white marble train station. We were tempted but resisted jumping onto a train to travel the Trans Karakum railway.
We managed an 233 miles today not bad eh? We once again stocked up on the gorgeous food, tonight we decided to have shashlyk (skewered chunks of mutton grilled over charcoal which come with raw sliced onions) and lipioshka (rounds of unleavened bread) all washed down with shampanski (yes that is the name for sparkling wine).
