Bukhara's old town is more walkable than Samarkand, with travel time in early June this year

The old town of Bukhara, which is also the scenic area, is much smaller than Samarkand. I was accompanied by a lady from Bangkok, of course, I was leading her, and she also benefited from my presence (free admission). Having company meant that I took more photos, including the cover of a Lonely Planet guidebook, as well as local landmarks, and the great minaret with a connection to Genghis Khan! The weather was very hot and sunny, but fortunately, it was a dry heat with some wind, not like being in a sauna.
