Ray Harvey Thanks Kate for your wonderfully described experiences. Sounds like you had a great and enjoyable time in an area of the world we don't see much of most of the time. Safe travels home.
Cath Rampal This is fantastic Kate...read your STAN overview (great too) but this is far more detailed. I've just stumbled upon it...it puts me right back there...Love Your Work
Kate Fennell Hi Cath, Glad that you enjoyed reminiscing about our wonderful trip to the Stans.
Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Ray Harvey Great explanation of your trip Katie. All very interesting. Was alcohol freely available and accepted there? Is it a safe place to visit?
Kate Fennell Hi Ray, Yes this was a fantastic trip and very safe. The people of the Stans are friendly and welcoming. It is such a privilege to be able to experience the countries and cultures of this part of the world. Alcohol was freely available. Local beers were very reasonably priced and certainly quenched a thirst!! Wine was OK but more expensive than Australia.

re: Beguiling Bukhara
Kate Fennell I know!! It is amazing to experience the different towns that I had never heard of before either. This is an unforgettable trip and still so much more to see
re: Karakol to Bokonbayevo
Kate Fennell Hi Ray, accommodation has been good and even the night in the yurt was comfortable. Interestingly we have had no problems getting local beer to drink!!
re: Dushanbe to Panjakent
Ray Harvey Extremely rugged terrain Kate. Is your accommodation of a reasonable standard in most towns? Stay well. What about the alcohol intake? I'd suggest extremely limited to zilch?
re: Dushanbe to Panjakent
Ray Harvey Wow Katie, you're visiting towns I've never heard of? Stay safe and well.
re: Karakol to Bokonbayevo
Kate Fennell Thanks Ray, glad you are enjoying my travels. Lots more to come from this trip. xxx
