This
morning a few of us went for a swim in the absolutely fantastic lake.
No wind, sunshine and very cold water made all of us wake up
instantly.
Leaving
the yurt camp we drove along the shore of the lake towards the town
of Karakol. We had a stop at the
Fairy Tale Canyon where we hiked
some 20 minutes to the canyon and then had 1½ hours to explore the
hills and footpaths of the area. Very beautiful with the sun bringing
the different colours of the rock formations forward.
Continued
to a small town where we had time to do shopping for the bush camp
in the mountains – and to get some lunch. Since we weren't in a
hurry Mikkel decided to try the local hair and beauty salon. Around
10 minutes (70 Som/ USD 1,10) and the hair was very short.
Drove
the truck towards the mountains and up the valley and onto some very
narrow gravel roads and bridges. Made it to our camp site which was in
the middle of the mountains in Jety Oguz. Very pretty with a small river next to
where we put up the tent.
Decided
to follow the river for a short walk and then return to the camp
since Malene was on tonight’s cook team. Got back just in time
since it started to rain. Best dinner on the trip so far with Asian
style wok noodles. Perfect meal for a cold and wet evening. Luckily
the rain stopped when dinner was served and we even managed to get a
fire going. And then the rain returned. Fingers crossed that it will
be over when we wake up tomorrow.
