When we had done Bokhara thoroughly
we hurried back TO krasnovodsk and took
the first beat leaving for Baku. We were
glad TO get out OF Turkestan for several
reasons. and feel safe in recommending
IT as good country to keep away from.
The heat. the poor hotels, the dust OF the
desert and other discomforts are enough
IL there were no others.
Food Is limited. We could always get
good soup. eggs. vegetables. bread, ccf-
Zee, tea and excellent fruit. The straw
berries are the best I ever tasted, and
the cherries are equally good. The meats,
however, are very poor and the chickens
are tough and striney. waldorf-Astoria
prices are charged for everything In the
way OF food. We were told, before start
ing, that living I'm Turkestan was very
cheap. but We found II more expensive
than in London or Vienna or Paris
Our rooms al the shabby little hotels
and our meals at railway restaurants
ana other places cost Just as much as
We would have paid at the hest hotel in
Washfnsfor, or similar hotels in Chica 70
or New York. which. Of course. was ex.
asperatins: but on the other hand, /, Is
only fair to say that the people who keen
the hotels and restaurants are compelled
10 charge high prices in order to pay
expenses, and when a foreigner comes
along they get as much OF his money az
they can.
