So, I had a weekend in Dushanbe, and the good fortune to have a seasonably unusual heatwave….highs reached 22-24C which for late November was way above normal.  The one bad thing about the Hyatt as a hotel is location.  It’s a good mile out of the edge of the main city, which means you’re more or less trapped there in the evenings.  I’ll get to the hotel a bit more later, but on Saturday I got up relatively early and ended up walking 14 miles all around Dushanbe.  It was a great day for walking, even though the sites…well not a ton to see.  I’m going to give the highlights, mainly in photo form:
