Another trip highlight. The tomb of Timur (Tamerlane) in Samerkand, Uzbekistan. Constructed About 1400. Magnificent, and better pics in the trip report.
(A couple of days late, sorry). Before we drove up the Trollstigen we passed through the Trollveggen (Troll Walls) which is - to quote - "The Troll Wall is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe"
You can see the valley pass coming up for a fair way ahead.
