Will miss this view! Heading home today after a very relaxing stay in Antalya. Perfect after our busy tour around Uzbekistan. Beautiful weather and not too busy in May. And the Akra Hotel was fab, would definitely recommend it. #akrahotels #antalya #turkey #beachlife #poolside #restandrelaxation #recharge #sunshine #holiday #travel #travelblogger #travelcocktail @miri.b20

Tour guides invariably save the best until last and Samarkand’s Registan Square is definitely the jewel in Uzbekistan’s architectural crown. The photos don’t really do it justice, it’s simply stunning. #registansquare #samarkand #uzbekistan #centralasia #architecture #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelcocktail #adventure

When travelling the Silk Road why not visit some silk worms! These were feasting on mulberry leaves in two rooms in a family’s home in Karakalpakstan, an autonomous desert republic in the northwest of Uzbekistan. We made an unplanned stop on route from Khiva to Bukhara and they were so welcoming and excited to show us their worms. Brilliant experience. Swipe for a close up and photos of some cocoons and silk being woven we saw later in Bukhara. #silk #silkworms #silkroad #karakalpakstan #bukhara #uzbekistan #centralasia #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelcocktail #adventure

Colourful Khiva, one of the greatest cities on the Silk Road with an amazing array of minarets, mosques and madrasas inside the old walled city. #khiva #khorezm #uzbekistan #centralasia #travel #travelphotography #travelblogger #travelcocktail #adventure #holiday

Race Across the World was our inspiration for coming to Uzbekistan and this hotel was the destination for that leg. After a 2 year pandemic delay I can’t believe we’re finally here.
