May 16th - Issyk - Kul relax day

Today was a short ride ! Only 70km to do from yesterday to reach the lake.

Issyk-Kul is the second largest mountain lake in the world at a 1600 meters. So the ride was pretty cold but landscape just awesome. On the right side the lake (we are riding all the south lake) and on our right the Tianshan mountains.


Roads are pretty bad but we manage to ride at 80-90km/h which allow us to reach Tamga village around 2pm.


We found a family to welcome us and get a room for RMB16/ person...Yeah pretty cheap but also pretty rustic.


We decided to do a little bit of exercise this afternoon as we cannot swim (too cold). So we went for running along the lake and went for some shopping in the village.


Get some pasta, tomato and went back home for cooking.


1st time we have to cook since the beginning but it was kind of cool in fact and we even more appreciated our pastas.


We like this kind of day, short ride and relax afternoon. No internet tonight, so blog will wait for the update.
