Just reached Ashgabat in Turkmenistan.  Weird place.
Weird by normal people standards, or by our standards?  ;D

Well done chaps.  :o :)

What makes it really foreign is if you compare the flags of neighbouring countries that fly on your pic, with the usual range of flags we often see on hostels and Youth Hostels etc at home 8)

First up, the walls of Baku and the Maiden Tower:

One of the gates


Outside of main wall


Another gate


Ignatieff and bullet holes


Yet another gate


Inside the walls


Inside tower


Inside another tower


The Maiden Tower (so called because it was hard to get into…honest). It could have been a temple and an astrology center but was eventually incorporated into the Caspian Sea side defence of the old town

Yes, nearly all of the historical sites have had restoration work done. Personally I think they did a superb job in Baku, Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand etc
