Day 150 (Uzbekistan): rest day in Tashkent

by markus

The idea was to get the first of a few visas today. The Tajik visa was apparently ready to be picked up and so I made my way to a German organization through which this was to run with the help of a friend. Everything was a green light - sort of. The driver came back and said that the Tajik embassy will only put the visa in next week. They are all ready alright, but the actual pasting in will only happen next week. Yay to the embassy here.

That being not-out-of-the-way, I hung around a few internet cafes to finally get moving on updating the website

It was an otherwise uneventful day, which was good for me. I met up with a friend of Islam’s who is also a biker and finally with Islam who invited me to his home where I met his family and his kids. They were a wild bunch, but a lot of fun to be with.

No pictures today … head over to the flickr site though for lots of pics from previous days.
