Did I make a mistake with this group?

I think that's right. But I hope you post about your experiences after
you go. I've long had the fantasy of visiting Samarkand and Bukhara
and seeing the beautiful mosques there.

I also would like to visit Iran someday. Did you visit Isfahan? I flew
over Iran on my way to Malaysia this summer. It looked starkly
beautiful from the air. Isfahan looked great from the air, and I've
also seen pictures which looked gorgeous. Did you find your trip to
Iran worthwhile? How were you received?

Ciao.

If you would like to send a private email to me, please take out the TRASH, so to speak. Please do not email me something which you also posted.

Go immediately (I mean, with the good season, not in summer if possible)

Did you visit Isfahan?

Twice. One of the most fascinating experiences in my life. I prefer it
to Florence, and I am italian, lived in Florence for 5 years...

I went there twice and will surely go again, since it is a huge country
and there are lots and lots of places and things to see. On of the most
friendly populations in the world. Very easy to travel by plane, bus or
taxi. The only problem can possibily be the time it takes to get the
visa.

Sure, sure, Annette, excuse me. I was joking (not about the awful Lonely
Planet Guide to Iran...). And thanks again for your answer

Very useful. Many, many thanks

God, possibly. And, yes, I have visited uzbek official www sites, but

In any case, really, many thanks for your kindness. Ciao from Italy

Check www.kto.co.jp. This is the Website for Kansai Time Out, an
excellent English magazine in Japan. They often have articles from the
greater Asian region, so search their archives. I know they had one on
Kazhakstan (sp), and very likely they have one on Uzbekistan as well.

How long did that take? Where di you get it? I'm also planning to go
there in the near future.

From the local consulate obviously. About 1 week in my country (Italy,
having an "invitation" from there, which means a friend or a travel
agency). Cannot know about your country, which seems to be Germany. If
so, it should be the same as here, I think.

Sorry, I made a post here a few days ago asking if anybody knows
anything about traveling in Uzbekistan in october (the climate, mostly)
but nobody answered.

I guess I missed your original post - just haven't had time to check
it daily.

The weather here can be variable then. It can be warm - 25 - 28
Celcius - in the day, but much cooler at night - 12-14 perhaps. By
then you also have the possibility of rain periodically. But if you
come prepared for cooler weather (relatively), and have an umbrella or
rain jacket, you should be fine.

Good luck!
