Packed and ready to go at 8 am. Beautiful morning. Kyrgyzstan really has
been good to us also with the weather. We enjoyed the drive down the
valley to our first stop – Naryn. Big provincial town compared to
the villages we drive through. Have now seen so many markets that we
have stopped being surprised when you see people unloading raw meat
from the trunk of a taxi or somebody carting an ox head to the
butcher – or anything in between.
Roads were very mixed – bad at the beginning, then getting better
and better before we turned on to the dirt road that would take us to
our yurt stay. The last scheduled stay in Kyrgyzstan. 2600 meters. Right next to the Tash Rabat Caravanserai. Cold when we got there but we went for a walk after lunch. Mikkel was
on cook team so he headed back a bit earlier to take care of the food preparations - BBQ tonight.
When all the Shasliqs were ready for the barbecue the weather suddenly
changed from cloudy to snow. First barbecue in snow. But we managed
to get the food done for everybody. Nice lady at the yurt place
turned on the electricity when we were more or less done eating.
The nice lady also lit the fireplaces in the yurts. It was really nice coming back to a warm yurt to sleep. Early morning tomorrow –
heading for Chinese border and hopefully no problems crossing into
China.
