Last night's bush camp was fabulous with the full moon and clear sky!
The route to Iskander-Kul was beautiful until.....
There is such a thing as a "3" (somani) bill! It's worth 60 cents!
We're on our way to Iskander-Kul, an opal blue mountain lake at 2195 meters. Notice there are no guard rails!
We stopped in Ayni for groceries. I had a meat pie with hot sauce that cost .80 US. It was delicious!
Sinks like this are in front of public places-
A stop wouldn't be complete without a toilet break. This one wins the award..... so far! I'd rather do a bush pee!
People here are super friendly. They take pictures of our truck, holler 'hello' and always want their picture taken-
These boys ran up to our truck to sell cheese balls and apples-
The route to Iskander-Kul was beautiful until.....
We ran into a bit of a road block. This rock was in the way, so we had to move other rocks to make the turn-
We walked up to the next switchback to see if it was passable. Notice the truck in the bottom right corner-
We got around the large rock and only had trouble at one other switchback. Here is the route. Aren't the colors fabulous!
We arrived at Iskander-Kul. Here is Marianne-
We had to wait for this troupe to pass-
We're now enjoying the lake and a few pivo!
