I settled myself at the restaurant with the internet for most of the 10th and traveled for most of the 11th. The transfers all went smoothly and the train ride was totally good.
To remember what I’ve been eating, every morning is a hotel breakfast and except for the first one in Nukus which was delightful, they’ve all been perfectly ok. The baked goods and the meats are not to my taste but the fruit is wonderful, there’s always tomatoes and cucumbers, sliced cheese, some kind of egg dish, usually a cooked vegetable, it perfectly ok.
