Re: staying with a friend/hotel slip replacements?
Confirming today we crossed the border with a handful of slips for most of our 20 day stay, we stayed with a friend and forgot some of the slips but were not questioned about it. They did want to see some though.

I can recommend Shuhrat from Namangan. He speaks English, Russian and Polish and has a car.
WhatsApp: +48 578 216 844
Phone / SMS: +998 939137616
He can also organise homestays with his family near Turakurgon, or in the wider Fergana region.

Re: Hojayli - Konye-Urgench border crossing (UZ - TM)
The border is open between 09:00 - 18:00. We were t allowed to cross later in the evening and this overstayed our visa.
