ARE WE THERE YET?: September 11th

G – Reporting

Woke early so decided to make the most of it and go down to the lake and get some pictures of the sunrise, sunrise was beautiful not so good was the 60 year old Russian who came down said hello then stripped off for a swim, he could have warned me!

After breakfast which we assume was included with the room as no one asked us for money in the restaurant, we packed and checked out and slowly drove back to Bishkek as I really didn’t want any more speeding tickets.

We had found a guesthouse/hostel online and had our fingers crossed that they had space for us, which when we got there they did and it just got better from they as the room was simple but spotless, plus a guest kitchen, free laundry and wifi all for $20 a night a real result when staying in a city.

After unpacking we headed downtown for some food and drink at “Fatboys” an expat place in the downtown core which had great food and was pretty cheap, as for the city it was like a smaller Almaty with the same leafy streets but with a more relaxed vibe all in all very nice, after we returned to the hostel and chatted with fellow travelers something you don’t get with a hotel.
