Leaving our hotel early morning we go in our spiffy blue Intourist bus towards the nearby border checkpoint crossing into Turkmenistan. West of Urgench we encounter some cotton fields typical for the region and jump off to have a closer inspection. There's not much action here a few farmers can be see harvesting in the middle of the field. The sigh http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Turkmenistan/Dashoguz/blog-23205.html
