Location: somewhere between Jizzax and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
James woke up with strange cramps that kept getting worse over the course of the day. We have no idea what caused them. We both had eaten exactly the same food and drank the same water so it could not be food poisoning otherwise I would have felt ill too. Perhaps it was some sort of allergic reaction?
We did not get as far today as we had hoped but still within reach of Tashkent after one more day of riding.
A kind family let us camp in their courtyard. As expected, they invited us inside for dinner but we managed to explain that we were very tired and just wanted to sleep. They had a very nice dog and the outhouse was very pleasantly clean and tidy. This may have sounded like a strangely random remark but when traveling in central asia, clean outhouses are a real heart warming highlight. No poo hanging over the edge, no smelly puddles or dirty toilet paper on the floor!!! Great!
