Long drive to Penjikent today through incredible mountain valleys. Visited the archeological site of Sarazm which was established around 4000 BC. Next on to the ruins of ancient Penjikent. It was THE major Sogdian town on the Silk Road. Wandered around modern day Penjikent until it was time for a tasty dinner of shashlyk and beer.
