From the Oxus to the Indus...


Death has no repose
Warmer and deeper than that Orient sand
Which hides the beauty and bright faith of those
Who made the Golden Journey to Samarkand.


And so we draw to a close our travels in Central Asia, headed inexorably South and East to Delhi for our speedy journey down the Ganges.

Betting is now open on how long it will take us to contract amoebic dysentary... there's a cream cake in it for any Slimming World member who can match Rachel's weight loss at the Wednesday morning weigh-in!

Why thank you madam! I took that very photo moi meme and whilst ill, I blame the muse inspired by the microbes...It is of the mausoleum where the boy Amir Timur is buried (Tamerlane) which was outside our hotel in Samarqand. No illness yet and Rachel has bought some new elasti-waisted pants so you may have a chance...
