In Tashkent for 2 days waiting for another Kazakh visa.
Nasty rumour of the day: the border of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is closed due to a bomb attack. If that is true it'll mean missing out on Kyrgyzstan and heading north straight into Kazakhstan. On the plus side though, I've found a brew-pub that does a very reasonable pint and an Italian restaurant that does a half decent cappucino - and when its the only one this side of the Bosphorus half decent is good enough.
