Great start into the day with a run, I really love cities for that, it’s nowhere easier to run than in cities. A lot of paths, small parks, it was really great!
Then we made it to the breakfast in the hostel where we parked, like 10 minutes before it closed. Another early morning win!
Now it was time for some chores, our Sprinty needs a service soon, so we visited the local Mercedes dealer (there aren’t many in these parts of the world) which was quite impressive and looked exactly like one in Switzerland. They couldn’t do the oil change directly, but offered a slot tomorrow 2pm which is perfect for us!

After the work, it was time for the fun. We drove to the Chorsu Bozor, there you can buy pretty much everything. And the stalls were grouped by category, so we went from fruits, to vegetables, to meat, bread and also random stuff. Quite impressive and large.
From there we did the stroll to the Hazrati Imam complex, which was an impressive mixture of mosaics and gold.

Now it was time to go back to our guesthouse, or to be more precise to a new one. This one with a pool, who could resist that with over 30 degrees outside? Even though it was a bit colder today, we still enjoyed the cold water.
