Summer 2007 (2) - Uzbekistan and Tajikistan

17th May 2007 to 4th June 2007

Second batch of photos from my travels this summer, taking in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. It starts in Khiva, where I crossed the border from Turkmenistan, up through Bukhara and Samarkand to Tashkent; from there south into Tajikistan, starting in Khojand and 20 hours by road to Dushanbe, before flying back to Khojand and crossing back into Uzbekistan in Fergana and Margilan.
