Hi from the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek.
I arrived last night after an amazingly scenic road from Osh. It was a 11 hour drive over 2 mountain passes with an altitude over 3000 metres! Beautiful! Along the way were many locals living in their yurts, farming there horses and goats on picture postcard green fields under soaring white peaks.
Osh was a lot of fun, ended up hanging out with 4 swiss motorcyclists (using russian Aral sidecar bikes) and we had a good time, even going to the local discotheques!
Today i will make my way over to Lake Issyk-Kul, famous for its scenery! and try to make some hikes into the hills. Kyrgyzstan has stunning landscape, such rugged mountains and rich valleys!
The food here is another story. A lot of mutton, generally in a soup with bread is pretty much all you get! Albeit the fact is normally costs less than a dollar! It is starting to get a little tedious! Still, the beer and vodka is cheap! Both around 30 cents a bottle
