Lucy Ash of the BBC has continued making mileage of her trip to Turkmenistan; this time by contributing a travel article to The Independent. The piece is reasonably likeable, though her anecdote about a visit to the dentist will ring familiar to regular listeners of From Our Own Correspondent.
One interesting fact is that it is apparently possible to fly direct to Ashgabat from the UK with Turkmenistan Airlines. Lastly, former British Ambassador in Turkmenistan Paul Brummell’s new travel book gets a plug.
