Woke up at 1 am. Because the wind was trying the move our tent. The
storm had moved down from the mountains and suddenly we were in the
middle of it with rain coming down too. Mikkel went out to put more pegs in and we survived the night. Carl and Adam did loose their tent bag, a reminder to put your bags underneath the tents and not in front of it during the night.
In the morning it had stopped raining so we decided to go for a very
cold swim before breakfast and packing up the camp. Then we headed
for Bishkek. The drive wasn't particularly impressive after so many
days with good weather and impressive scenery in the mountains.
Arrived at our nice hotel and decided to skip the group dinner. This
it the place where 8 from the
group will leave, many of them having
been on the truck since Istanbul.
The previous group dinner was not really good and we wanted to catch
up with family and friends on Skype since it was Sunday evening so we decided not to join the group dinner (we did also have dinner together for the last 10 days).
We went out on our own for dinner and found a cafe next to the big supermarket and ordered pizza, Greek
salad and beer. Got beer, pizza and Caesar salad. Not totally fluent
in Russian menu's yet but the food was really nice. When we came back to the hotel we went all the others. They were already back from the dinner which hadn't been all that great. Had a beer with them.
Did more internet
during the night. Sometimes it is an advantage to be four hours ahead
of DK timezone.
