Now that the world has shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s a good time to go and reflect on some of the more interesting trips we’ve taken so we can look forward to future travel that will undoubtedly restart in some as-yet indeterminate amount of time. One of such trips was my visit to Uzbekistan – a trip that was actually planned a little bit last-minute because a work trip to India coincided with a friend flying through Tashkent, where an (intentional) misalignment of schedules caused him a four-day transit, which was just enough time to visit the country. Our plan was: day 1 was travel from our respective origins, day 2 was Bukhara, day 3 was Samarkand, day 4 was back to Tashkent and then an ungodly late night departure back to Delhi.
