Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

When a Swedish travel agent launched a two week trip to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan I literally threw myself on the phone to grab a seat. Together with a crowd of seasoned Swedish travellers I experienced the marvels of Central Asia and our stomachs got to feel the wrath of Timur Lenk.

Meh... readers beware. I originally started this log to keep my mother up to date during a longer trip, but I quickly realized I wasn't about to waste my precious time off by sitting in some shady Internet café updating a blog nobody will read anyway. Nowadays it is more of a personal nostalgia and ego thing, but by all means, feel free to enjoy the speculations and hybris which will no doubt get reality checked soon enough. I will add older travel logs as time permits.... full info
