Getting into Uzbekistan took another 2 hours, but was comparatively easy with far fewer people. Insurance cost 12 dollars. The rest of the day was unremitting misery as we travelled possibly the worst road in the world with more pothole than road. Trying to find the road to Khiva using the non-existent road signs we gave up in despair outside the Gamburgerlari establshment which apparently sells Uzbek “gamburgers” although the pictures outside showed doner and shish kebabs and shwarmas like everywhere else.
The road. It got worse.
