So our last night in Khiva and we are in the center of the town at an open air restaurant where the food is “interesting” soup and stuff in sticks with lots of bread and beer and of course some local vodka, well it would be rude not to.
The highlight is a group of people playing local instruments and a lady singing with a couple of kids helping.
It was a lot better than I am making out and they play and sing with a lot of gusto and polish, this team have done this a lot.
There were also plenty of gold teeth on view
There is the obligatory get the tourists up to dance section which some of our groups seem more than happy to assist with.
The small amounts of local vodka which were consumed I believe may have added to the joviality.
As much as we are enjoying ourselves we have to leave and get some sleep.
We have our first border crossing in the morning and breakfast is at 06:30 bags on the coach at 07:00 with us leaving at 07:30 and we are already being warned will be long and tiresome.
