A run to start the day and then into the cold(ish) Issyk Kul, what an amazing start! Then breakfast and a relaxed morning. In the early afternoon we started to pack up and it was time to say goodbye to Richi and Birgitta, we won’t see them again because they now slowly head towards the Chinese border which they will cross at the beginning of September.

We did a quick stop at the Globus and then headed towards the Seven Bulls, which is a mountain formation in the red rock here. Due to the direction of the sun, it can only be photographed in the morning, so this is a project for tomorrow.
