Week 21 - After five months on the road, and 8000km cycled, Ellie & Mark reach the historic city of Samarkand in mint condition
I'm loving the history and the sunflowers! When I'm next in Massimo's I will ask about the plural and singular.
Mmmmmm, Massimo’s. Will you get a chip and two battered sausages for me too please? Loads of salt and vinegar!
What a beautiful video, what a beautiful piece of music. I love that old guy and his Umbrella Holder.
He’s a heavy dude. His umbrella holder gave permission to film, he was too deep into it.
Granddaughter, great-granddaughter? She was a 21st century shadow of a very ancient thing.
Hi Ellie and Mark, congratulations on reaching Samarkand and clocking up 8,000kms. You will be glad to hear that the summer here hasn't been too bad at all. Continued safe travels to both of you .
Good to hear from you Gerry, and very glad to hear that the sun is shining on Ireland. Any chance ye’d send us over some rain?
Absolutely no litter! Why am I surprised?
A little bit at the side of the road, but not as much as some countries we’ve cycled through, including our own.
Those sunflowers, wow!
Fields and fields of them 🌻
I’m still laughing over the Polo Mint. I must admit I was 50/50 in my gullibility. 😂😂
Hopefully some people won’t read to the end.

Xanadu
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan s stately pleasure dome decree. ?
I remember that poem!
Samarkand isn’t in that one. Might it be this? https://allpoetry.com/the-golden-road-to-samarkand
Yes
Brilliant Mark & Ellie.
What a piece
I remember a bit of a poem in nationalschool mentioning Samarkand.
Wowsville.
And as for the Panino lesson. Bravissimo.
Thanks Liam. Can you remember the name of the poem?
