In May 2013 we went on a 33-day, "5-Stans", Central Asia tour.
(Melbourne - Kuala Lumpur - Kazakhstan - Kyrzgystan - Uzbekistan - Tajikistan - Turkmenistan - Dubai - Melbourne)
We spent 5 days in Kazakhstan and a week in Kyrzgystan.
From Osk in Krygyzstan we crossed the border into Uzbekistan to Andijon.
After 10 days we left the beautiful tiled buildings along the
old Silk Road in Uzbekistan and and crossed the border into Turkmenistan.
