Why did I choose Uzbekistan for my first post-pandemic holiday abroad? Perhaps, in my mind, I had romantic images of the ancient Silk Road and the great cities along its route, especially Samarkand. Maybe I even entertained unlikely hopes of bumping into Joanna Lumley. Probably, I simply wanted to see a part of the world that was completely unknown to me. I was not to be disappointed.

On my first day in the capital Tashkent, my wallet bulging with money, I headed for the nearest metro station. With the help of a student keen to practice her English, I reached the Chorsu Bazaar, and was impressed during my journey to see Uzbek youngsters cheerfully give up their seats to elderly passengers. Located in and around several large domes, the bazaar provided an exciting start to my holiday, the colorful national dress of the local women further enlivening the scene. The stallholders offered a vast range of goods, including meat, fruit, vegetable and car parts for locals and souvenirs, such as ceramics and textiles, for tourists.

The rest of my time in Uzbekistan was a cavalcade of sights and experiences, as I visited Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand. Each has its architectural masterpieces — mosques, minarets and madrassas — but, for me, the most impressive was probably the world-famous Registan Square in Samarkand. With magnificent madrassas on three sides, it is splendid by day and magical when illuminated by night.

Each journey was varied and interesting: dry desert contrasted with fertile areas where crops thrived. The weather, however, it was the first half of October didn’t vary: it was sunny and warm every day and chilly at night. For all but vegetarians, the food was another highlight of the holiday. Tapioca pudding at breakfast came as a surprise but the home-produced fresh fruit and vegetables were delicious.

Ten days in Uzbekistan passed too quickly but I will always remember my first visit to this fascinating, friendly country.
