Every morning we have work to do, given the time difference of +2, our day begins rather late. So having left for Urgench from Khiva at 10 am, we did not have time for the only bus to Bukhara. At the railway station, we find out that the nearest train is at 16 ... There is an option to take a taxi for $ 18, but for us it's too easy. We go by the most interesting and free way, hitchhiking. In cities, the stop is zero, most cars travel around the city, plus every second taxi car. We must get out ... We are looking for the route and the nearest city on the map, this was the city of Turtkul, 35 km from Urgench ($ 0.5 per person). The bus was unrealistically long, 35 km went for more than an hour, visiting many villages. Turtkul, again the city, but at times less, but still it is difficult to stop in it, you need to somehow get out of it to weed out unnecessary cars. At the bus station, as always a bunch of taxi drivers, noticing foreigners, a man offered to take us out to the track for free, but we just have to wait for his girlfriend, who is going to come up here, but does not answer the phone ... - Okay, waiting is not long? "About half an hour." Time goes by, but the girl does not exist, she does not approach the phone. Calling my sim card, she still picked up the phone, in the distressed look of the driver, something is wrong. We leave the bus station, to the place where his girlfriend should come, but we have to wait another hour. There is no time for this, we try to stop in the city, but 90℅ cars are taxi drivers ... Looking at our failure, our friend again takes us to the station, where he communicates with his partners, after which a lot of taxi drivers begin to look for us a car and find us! On a small mini bus, Deu us throw up on the empty A380. There are practically no cars ... A pair of recumbent photos on a lonely road, during the shooting the car drives up.
Next stop is the village of Meshelka. Not having time to get out of the car, we are attacked by taxi drivers. There we get acquainted with the granny who tells about the bus for $ 3 (~ 380 km), or the opportunity to catch a ride for $ 4. One of the taxi drivers has already phoned to someone, a passing car is going, they will take us, the price is not known. In such an environment, when attacked from three sides, you can not figure anything out, it was decided to leave the epicenter and again postopit.
