Samarkand (18th August)

After breakfast (pancakes, cheese, fried eggs, bread & jam) in the Kamila Hotel spent the morning walking around the Mosques and Mausoleums around Ruhabad Street and on into Registan Street and Square.  New drainage channels were being laid in the main road from the hotel to the centre (Bahbed Yuli Street). 
This city is very different from the last 2 in Uzbekistan with wide open green spaces and larger mosques more widely spaced out.  The modern shops in Registan Square are close to the more traditional small side shops.  See the photo album for further photos). 
Walked onto the Bazaar we walked to yesterday and got my problem sandal repaired by a street shoe repair man. 







Back at the hotel and just going to spend the afternoon around the small pool.  Dinner is arranged this evening at the hotel.
