Raw Silk: Uzbekistan Travels Part IV: To Khiva through Khorezm

We drive into Khorezm (Khwarezm) province across the Amu Darya near Kipchak (the footage across the bridge had to be taken covertly; the warning whistle at the beginning is from gesticulating ’militsia’ who saw me take a camera out). We drive through Khoresm, via Mangit near the Turkmen border. We reach Khiva, entering through its South Gate (Tash darwaza); and inspect our lodgings at the mehmanxona Kheivak.
