Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – It was our last evening and it felt like a pending fear of missing out loomed over us as we doubled back through the Itchan Kala.

Almost miraculously a series of rather long standing (some bits no longer standing) Sufi tombs appeared, embedded into the fortified walls surrounding the original 5th century fortress city.
