We stay in a nice guesthouse , a quiet and green harbor in the noisy city. We stay a few days to wait a forgotten sleeping bag to arrive by DHL, to finalize the preparation of the bikes, to get used to the heat, to organize the Enylchek trek – unsuccessfully, and we decide to just go … and simply to take it easy and relax …
We have the chance to pass at the right place and the rigght time for the opening ceremony of the annual International Festival on “Dialogue of Cultures” (of Central Asia) with traditional costumes, dances, music … and also a Central Asian designer show exhibiting mainly fashion from Samarkand. It is a wonderful occasion for taking out the camera, it is just a pity that the light conditions aren’t a bit better.
