Thanks to our friends at Avenues Magazine for their kind words. It's been quite the journey over the last 25 years, and they've captured it brilliantly...

While we're back in the office feeling very jealous, Peter and the group have just spent the last few days exploring Mary, Merv & Ashgabat in Turkmenistan! They have, of course, sent us a few photos so we can all imagine being there ourselves :)

First stop was Mary, an oasis city in the Karakum Desert before making their way to Merv, one of the main cities of the ancient Silk Road and a World Heritage site and then on to Ashgabat and visits to the beautiful, World Heritage
fortress of Old Nisa, at the foot of the Kopet Dag Mountains, the earliest of the Parthian Empire capitals and Arkadash stud farm, home of the famous Akhal-Tekke horses, one of the oldest breeds in existence.

Post cards from Peter in Uzbekistan!

Samarkand, Bukhara & Khiva are some of the most significant cities in Uzbekistan. Known for their history and impressive architecture.

Samarkand is a busy, bustling and vibrant city with several must see sights including Bibi-Khanym Mosque and the most famous Registan Square!

The new buildings blend with the old madrassas and mosques in Bukhara. Visits to Samonid’s Mausoleum, the Ark Citadel, the Minaret Kalan Complex, trading domes and the architectural wonder of Lyabi Hauz are all recommended while exploring the medieval city.

Khiva, on the other hand, is a smaller, walled city with UNESCO World Heritage listed Old Town. Make sure you wander the fabled Ichon-Qala (inner walled city), visit the old citadel, the Emir’s Palace, the magnificent Juma Mosque and the caravanserai.

All three of these destinations are highlights of any trip along the Silk Road!

Peter and his group of happy travelers are continuing to enjoy their journey through the "Five Stans".

Just a few of the highlights over the last few days have been:
- A visit to the Sunday Animal market in Karakol,
- Enjoying the museum in honour of Nikolay Mikhaylovich Przhevalsky
- Cholpen-ata to visit the Petroglyps dating back to 2000bc
- The Sulayman Mountain (King Solomon in the Old Testament)
- A Silk Factory and Ceramics Studio for a bit of souvenir shopping
- Payshanba Bazaar, the biggest in Central Asia
- 7th century fort (completely rebuilt by the soviets in the 1970's)
- Visit to Iskanderkul lake on a road that probably should have featured in an episode of top gear

And, of course, the Jewel in the crown, Samarkand!
