The last breakfast, I had to check out at 12pm but not getting boat until 4pm which is slightly annoying because I'll be sweaty. I got up headed to the beach and tried to tan my white belly. It was very windy! And I couldn't really keep my eyes open enough to read another chapter of my book. Peaceful and relaxing I had a few wees in the sea, because you can't get enough of them when you're surrounded by water. I headed back about 11:30 from bikini beach to th...

We were doing an organised tour with Get your Guide to the mountains outside of Tashkent in Chimgan (Amirsoy Mountains). Our guide picked us up in his littler car with his driver - I wasn't expecting this I was expecting a group big whole bus. This was going to be much better because who wants to wait around for ransomers all day anyhow. Our guide was a funny round man that loo...
