Au Pied de Cochon

January 29, 2011

My good friend, Peter, flew up from Nice especially to visit me in Paris. He arrived unwell, with a bad cold but still managed to meet me for dinner. I had been dying to go to Au Pied de Cochon (at the foot of pig) and finally my time had arrived. Au Pied de Cochon is a …

Finally some night shots of The Registan complex in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.Lit up in all its glory, highlighting all the magical elements that make this ancient structure, dare I say perhaps even more beautiful at night.A memorable way to say goodnight and goodbye to Samarkand. ... See MoreSee Less

Let the Light Show Begin!As if you haven’t already been exposed to so much colour, this will tip you over the colour edge. A riot of colour!I’ve had all week to film it and silly me chose Saturday night with hundreds of people, jostling for elbow room. 😊I’m on the move tomorrow and have had a hell of a couple of days. I’m not going to discuss it here at the moment until I get home for reasons that will make sense later. Suffice to say, I’ve lost a couple of days and didn’t get to explore everything that I intended. Tomorrow I set off on my next leg and new adventure and can’t wait to see what the next few days have in store for me. Early start tomorrow - The Registan, Samarkand, Uzbekistan ... See MoreSee Less

Samarkand, Uzbekistan.It was a great day yesterday despite spending most of it amongst the dead.Good views, more brilliant colour and tile work to admire, bedazzling ceilings, a mysterious curse and a reasonably strong wind that made for a good hair day. What more could a girl ask for!Ready? ... See MoreSee Less

Just letting you know that I’m not doing a lengthy post tonight. I had a fabulous day and not a red dress in sight. It was a big day and now I’m sitting in a restaurant with live Uzbek music and drinking Uzbek wine. I’m guessing by the time I get home I won’t be able to string too many words together. However, tomorrow I need to do chores, pay my overdue tourist tax, which looks like a trek, wash clothes because no machine at my next stop and I will do a post. Forgive me but I’m having fun and don’t want to go home yet. This is a quick iPhone shot when I walked out tonight, even with a terrible photo, The Registan looks gorgeous all lit up. Cheers 🍷 ...

It was kind of a fabulously odd day today in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.Of course I had a plan but abandoned it only a few steps in, I got cranky, wanted to punch the Red Dress Lady and pretty much every Instagrammer within sneezing distance of me in the middle of a sacred place.There is a cure for these moments, food, wine, retail therapy and quiet neighbourhood streets.Are you wondering who the Red Dress Lady is? Don't worry, I am going to tell you - haha :) Come on, let's get this party started. ... See MoreSee Less
