Bukhara (episode 1 and 2)

Back in Bukhara, the lovely little town I m gonna spent four more days...waiting for my Turkmen visa to be ready (might be on the 16th....might be).
And the place is just perfect for relaxing and doing nothing.
I spend most of my days wandering around, go to internet cafe, relax at the guesthouse ans spend some times with the owners and the other guests.


























Nice to spend some time relaxing but I do wish I could go to Turkmenistan as soon as possible to go then to Iran (THE country I m looking forward to visit)...

We had the chance Arnaud and I during our first stop in Bukhara to be invited by kids who were selling drinks to play football after. Meeting at 7 o'clock behind the main medressa...quite good fun with all the 10ish years old kids running around while Arnaud and I were having quite a hard time breathing with the still-high-temperature and the dust in the air (and maybe the lack of training but shhhh).

They were all shooting "mister ! mister !" as soon as Arnaud or I would get the ball.. and no way to distinguish which kid was playing in which team. Teenager came a little bit after and the kids all left the field to seat on the wall without beeing askedf, they knew their playiong time was over. Playing with older guys made the game a little bit more interesting I have to say...

Few pics...check out the football field nice hein !!!! Shooting on hundred years
walls...raaaaa
































Part of the team (my goal keeper was not even 1m high...lol)
















And a video with the kids:



For Bukhara pics, I chose to show you sunset pics (instead of the traditional bright sunny ones)...let s go....
As usual, medressas, but also full of old and narrow streets.































































And of course nice people:

















Took a night train on the 14th to Tashklent to pick up my visa on the 16th....then I ll start the big race to be as quickly as possible in Turkmenistan
