Bukhara -- Day Two

Day two was still spectacular but so, so, so hot!

A new building for Bukhara, built shortly after 1800.

The jail near the Ark where British spies Connolly and Stewart were held in the bug pit.  A highlight attraction for Craig.

  2. Jes... Bug pit was literal. It was a giant hole where they dropped creepy crawlies down and kept the worst offenders.
