The hotel room had no windows so it was really dark. Normally we wake up when the sun starts shining, meaning around 5 or 6. But now it was already 8! We went to breakfast and joined Sasha and his colleague.

As I had a meeting with Aydos next, we went to his place. He had a sim card for us, but it would not work right away. We needed some settings which could be gotten in the Ucell shop. So he took us to the shop and all worked out. He told us also about the museum and even went along with us. Inside the museum we got a very good guide named Isultan. She claimed her English was not good, but I think it was excellent. The museum had two floors. The first floor which had the archeologic collection, and the second floor which had a huge Russian avant garde art collection.  All of it was collected by Igor Savitsky.

We spent a long time in the museum, I think about 3 hours, it was so interesting. After an hour or so Aydos had to go to work so he left us. We also met Dgahongir in the museum, what a small world 🙂
I can only recommend this museum. The archeological collection is huge and the central asia history was explained very well. The paintings were also beautiful. We were both nicely surprised.

After this nice morning we went to a small shop to buy some biscuits and icecream. We decided to have a rest the afternoon and stay in Nukus until tomorrow. Sasha had left to Khiva which was our destination for tomorrow. We had exchanged phone numbers.

In the evening we went to buy some more fuel and went back to the nice restaurant.
