KHIVA – UZBEKISTAN
29/6/2022 – 2/7/2022 I woke up this morning, ate breakfast, and made sure that I was ready to depart for Khiva. There are several ways to get from Bukhara to Khiva, including a train line, private drivers, shared taxis, and marshrutkas. I had spoken to the guy who ran the place I had stayed at…
