So on to the Silk Road.
Mr Wilson's guide book in hand. Wasn't one of our best decisions to take the first edition of the book as everything has changed, the prices most significantly. 400 Som to get into the Registon has changed to 10,000. Again unfortunately Samarkand has been hit by the tourist trap.
But this doesn't really detract from what is a stunning town, as Paul mentions if you aren't impressed by the sight of the 3 Madrassas that form the Registon, you might as well go home.
Also a great relief to find the people genuinely friendly and happy to show you around their city.

The Madrassas
Wonderful Islamic ceramics, not to be missed! I wonder just how much is 10,000 Som? Watched some videos on u tube - the market looks great as well. x Rose
