Departure from Karsi: 9:23 am
After 20 minutes of waiting, an Uzbek mother and daughter arrived and we were able to leave. The time was 9:23 am.
Soon after we departed, it was the usual gas supply. Once out of the car, refuel with methane gas. In the meantime, you can use the toilet.
Drive quickly along the beautifully paved two-lane road. Termez is the Uzbekistan’s hottest city, apparently, and the driver laughed and said, “It’s going to be 60 degrees Celsius”, but there was no air conditioning in the car. But as we approached Termez, near noon, it was indeed hot and he turned on the air conditioning.

We arrived in Termez at around 1pm. We were dropped off in front of the hotel where we were to stay.
This was our journey from Qarshi to Termez. Overall, it was quite a comfortable trip, although at times the driver hit more than 160kms an hour.
