Due to the heat everybody gets up early and we leave quite early compared to "normal" days. And the day is our friend: some kilometers further we find a fuel station. Fuel is available and the guy running it also accepts money. Nothing can stop us now on the way to Bukhara. Arrived there we find a central parking place, a bank which changes Euros into sum and a restaurant for lunch. From there we go to the old town for sightseeing. That´s when thing start to turn around. Korbi shows an allergic reaction and we need to catch a taxi to bring him in an emergency to the next hospital. Thanks god the reacted immediately and helped him before it was too late. After a couple of liters of infusions the situation is stable and the normal asian business starts: Endless paperwork. At some times we have up to 10 guys from the police in the room. We need to get our documents from the car, which is not so easy, because the street we left the cars is closed in the meantime due to a football match in the nearby stadium. Accompanied by a policemen I am able to reach the car with a driver and bring it to the hospital. The others are already waiting at the cars and tell me that they already found a place for the night and will tell me the address. Back to the hospital the paperwar continues. A million of photos and copies of our passports, several handwritten reports (they are for sure not the fasterst writers!) and endless discussions. At least I know the copyshop near the hospital very well, as I need to go there with everybody who wants to take a copy of any of our documents. They even copy the copy of our route plan. Finally we can leave the hospital, but not before paying 100 Euros (and of course another tour to the copy shop to copy the receipt...). In the meantime we also have the address from the hotel. The problem is that we cannot go there because the streets are still closed. Another taxidriver is needed for help. He leads us through the narrow streets of the old town. Not without needing to go back a several times because some streets are really not passable for cars. The place for the night is a really nice location with a very helpful family leading it. Korbi is still a bit dizzy from the medication but seems to be in a relative good condition.
