Still Here

Here in the town of Karakol at the moment. Decided to do some hiking here in north eastern Kyrgyzstan rather that go to Kazakhstan last week. The hiking season is just starting after the snow melt. Came over here with a guy from Slovenia, we first stopped at the town of Tamchi by Lake Issyk Kul for a couple of nights. We wanted to hike up the mountains, but after walking 12km though desert scrum to get to the foot of them, we were too tired and walked back (then didn't look that far away).
Then went Karakol and did a day hike up the Jeti-Ogyz valley before doing a two day hike up the Arashan valley. Have an over night bus back to Bishkek tonight and will go to Almaty tomorrow - probably. Its labour day tomorrow, so not sure how transport will be affected.
