What is that? Who would want to manufacture ageing fish?

Hi,

I am planning to arrive to Nukus on Thursday 14th, so we could start the tour on the 15th. If this works for you (according to your plan it might be a little bit early) we are a Spanish couple who's also interested in doing the same trip to the Aral Sea.
