Taken from in the grounds of the Kalon Mosque, Bukhara. The Kalon Minaret, a beautiful 12th century tower, is clearly visible, and to the left is one dome from Mir-i-Arab Madrasa.

Vasto is a nice city, with a great old town feel, good dining options, and a cool breeze from high on the hill above the ocean.

We had some time to kill waiting for some friends, so chose a random nearby town. Treglio, as it turns out, has a lovely little bar on a delightful little piazza.

We encountered this great pair of buildings while driving. The church is old (centuries) but the tower much older (over 2,000 years). It is a nuraghic site. Nuraghic people inhabited Sardinia from around 3,000 BC through to around 850 BC. It makes the church quite new!

After ascending the tower, it was time for us all to part ways. The German contingent heading back to Moneglia for one more night before their return home. We headed to the airport to pick up friends. More of that to come.

At over six kilometres, the city walls of Diyarbakır are said to be the second in extent in the world, only beaten by the Great Wall of China. They are made from basalt, and are certainly impressive.

The towers may be about a thousand years old, but the atmospheric lighting is a more recent addition. Mestia, Georgia.

This cluster of towers is in the Svaneti town of Mestia. They were built for defensive purposes, and combined with the remoteness of the region, have served the inhabitants well for a thousand years. The area was well known as a stronghold and frequently sheltered important religious icons and artefacts when other regions were under threat by invading forces.

These towers are dotted all through the valleys of Svaneti. They were predominantly built between the 9th and 13th centuries. The bed and breakfast we stayed at in Mestia had its own, dating from the 10th century. Dates like these make the majority of “old” houses pale in comparison.
