A stary walk in Bukhara

The sun shone through the arches of the central market, inviting us to go and watch it set.

We found a lovely spot to gaze over Bukhara's array of mosques, medrassahs and mauselea and watch the sun dip over the horizon.

As the sun disappeared and the crescent moon approached the crescent on the mosque, the birds also got the hint and disappeared into the night.

We drank copius amounts of green tea before sneaking into a mosque at night to watch the stars.
