Uzbekistan IV, Andijan

Andijan is located in the Fergana Valley. The Fergana Valley is a fertile, green place. Cotton and wheat are the major income sources for the locals.
I went there to cross the nearby Kyrgyz border. Before I did this I spent one and a half days there. During this time, my highlight was, that I managed to eat the Uzbek national dish plov. It was excellent.
On Friday morning I made my way to the border. My information was that the border was closed eventually. Since my Uzbek visa expired that day I had two alternatives for this case. I could either extend my visa or I could take a taxi to Tashkent and from there a flight to the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek. To my relief, I could cross the border without any problems.
