Resting and planning in Samarkand

We have spent the past few days resting in another hotel in Samarkand where they have a pool. 
We have also been in shock due to the terrible news of cyclists attacked on the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan. We got the first early reports of what happened yesterday morning and have been following the situation on the Internet and from the people we know that are on the Pamir Highway right now.
Our plan was to enter Tajikistan tomorrow and head towards the Pamir Highway. But now we have decided not to go to Tajikistan and instead head north in Uzbekistan and then to Kyrgyzstan.
Our friends on the tandem are near to finishing the Pamirs. They have had a wonderful experience. As they write “these events are so unfortunate because Tadjik are lovely and the country is beautiful”.
