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

Read about Rhinebeck in @hilarieburton book and thought it would be nice to see more of New York State than just Manhattan. Really pleased I made the trip up the Hudson Valley to see a little slice of small town America #samuelssweetshop #rhinebeck #newyorkstate #hudsonvalley #dutchesscounty #usa #holiday #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelcocktail
