Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – We checked into our lodgings, just as the sun was setting behind the Itchan Kala walls. From inside the monumental walled city, we surveyed our surroundings before descending from the rooftop to explore before dark. Throughout our time in Khiva, I marvelled at the complicated structures of its adobe style construction and admired the glorious tiled details found in abundance. For the silk road enthusiasts, it's the place to be!
