Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – I still have flashbacks and glorious dreams calling me back to the ancient fortified city. With our travel in Central Asia; occurring outside the typical touristy times of the year, we appeared to have the benefit of minimal wayfarers and the freedom to roam. After spending the day driving the famed Silk Route; our arrival in Khiva felt surreal. We wandered up to the Hotel's roof to catch a glimpse of the setting sun against the eastern wall of the wondrous Itchen Kala before heading out to explore a little further before total darkness.
