The north side of Lake Issyk Kul lake did not particularly like us. This was not just because of the rather dull and cool Weather to do. That is why we did not initially on swimming in the usually warm to 25 degrees and the lake and camping was not particularly inviting. In Cholpon Ata, the former Bath and spa in the Soviet Union, we found a nice hotel.
in Karakol on the east side of the lake we visited the small bazaar and the old all wood Russian Orthodox Church. About 15 km east of Karakol in a Ak Suu valley. There is a hot water source, and therefore an old sanatorium. This is no longer in operation, but some other buildings use the hot water for bathing. We drove into the valley until we arrived at a closed grid. With difficulty, we turned and found refuge in a bath house. Maja-Lena was the stench of healthy water is so disgusting that they would have gone to the site again. In addition, the rooms were not only ridiculously low, but also schmudlig and equipped with up to 4 beds. The danger was to get another unpopular bed, where neighbors. This happened René, wanted to put as our host in his room again three Muslim Gesundheisfanatiker. He quickly changed the room and took me to be content as a roommate. Bathing in hot water, however, was a treat. Flowed from a giant tube of hot water that could be mixed with cold in a bath. As an old stopper was tailored rubber tube, which seals in enough water.
Heute morgen war der Himmel leicht bewölkt. Deshalb machten wir uns voller Zuversicht auf den Weg die A 364 mit ihren 311 Km unter die Räder zu nehmen. Diese führt über 4 Pässe an die chinesische Grenze von wo aus man das Gebirge des Tien Shang sehen kann. Zuerst schien unser Vorhaben zu Gelingen. Die Strasse war zwar nicht asphaltiert, aber recht gut. Vor dem ersten Pass mit 3822 Meter Höhe begann es leicht zu schneien. Mit etlichen Stürzen und dem befahren von heiklen Passagen durch kürzlich niedergegangene Lawinen erreichten wir die Pass. There were about 20 cm of fresh snow, which forced us to stop. Should we continue to be completely snowed in with the danger, or shall we return? To answer this question we took almost an hour. We saw something from a small hut, there we were, sheltered from the wind and snow retreat. As we approached, we met a man who was chopping wood in a shelter. Without to stop, he pointed us to his hut to go into this until we get it. In the hut stood a stove, a gas stove, a table and a bed in an adjoining room. We sat at the table and recover us from our efforts. When the man came with the chopped wood, he stoked the furnace, made us tea and gave us bread and pig fat. In a calm and matter of course as we were Familienangehörgige. He lives alone on this pass and as we assume responsibility for clearing the road. After my wet socks were something drier and warmer, and especially we decided how we should proceed, we left again this hospitable place.
What drove back to Karakol. And rightly so as we could feststeDllen later. As soon as we arrived at our Guest House started it proper to thunderstorms and rain. It is unimaginable what we would have expected in the mountains in our tents.
still so much we used the sauna to warm up to us again. The fact that we have to share the room to fourth seems to us after this "snow day" to identify anything.
In search of a restaurant we met Mathias and Sofie, the two Swiss, who we met in Khorog. Together with ropes, they went by taxi to Osh Share. We ate supper together as soon as we had filled our plates before there was a prolonged power outage, but we enjoyed, without background music for it by candlelight.
