Sunday 22nd : left Bishkek for Song Kul

Phone connectivity disappeared on the way there so I wasn’t able to update.

Here are some pictures of the way there:

Stubbled upon a mad Dutch vlogger travelling the world in a Volkswagen camper van with a reconstructed engine. . .

. . . Who was optimistically hoping to drive around the neighbouring -stan countries and all the way to Holland.

I saw some furry cows

And eventually reached lake Song Kul

(You can just about see it, between the animals and the mountains)

And eventually found the camp Bairsh after circling the lake

Climbed a steep hill for the sunset, before sleeping in the yurt

More on Song Kul in next post!

Kyrgyz cuisine

First meal in Kyrgyzstan at Navat restaurant, in Bishkek

Started off with boortsog (fried bread) and drinks. Delicious!😋

How to choose? 🤔

Top left = plov

Top right = lazuro (yummy!)

Bottom 2 = different versions of lagman (traditional noodle dishes)

Also had some side salads…

with veal and beef tongue

The restaurant was lovely and decorated in traditional style.

But more importantly, it is a democratic restaurant 🤨
