A drive over the mountains in the cooler weather. Not much traffic on the road but interestingly in a short space of time we came across 3 stalls selling fresh meat, with the sides of meat hanging in the open air.
Down the other side we stopped at a bus stop where about 6 women were selling turkeys. More gold teeth & colourful dresses. They were all happy to have their photographs taken & I think the senior woman wanted to hand her daughter over to Phil. They also tried to give us 2 turkeys!
There is a lot of cotton grown around here & the women are all out harvesting it by hand. They put the cotton in large slings & then it is loaded on to trucks.
The Tajikstan currency is the somani and we get 4.89 somani for one dollar.

Car still overheating, several stops needed for cool down and top up water. Worrying
