So today we have a visit to a local pottery lined up where we will stop for lunch. In the way se see these guys selling melons by the road side.
Unfortunately we dont stop to purchase.
The Pottery it would seem is quite famous (around here anyway) and some work has been done to accommodate coach parties by putting tarmac down and this is the machine they used
Now I bet you have never seen something like that before.
The pottery was still using the original processes and machinery to make the plates and pots no electric motors the potters wheels powered by the guys foot.
the end results were as you can see quite good although a little pricy for us.
Lunch was taken in a large room and I have to say it looked very good and even though we probably had breakfast only a couple of hours ago we tried out best to demolish all of it.
As ever there is always soup and it is always a “Special soup”
There is nice picture of the owners family on the wall they look happy (well most of them)
Now we really are on our way to Samarkand which is around 200km away and with one stop for an old caravanserais (a place where the caravans stopped overnight) we should be there late afternoon.
