A day a bit on the lazy side, even though we got quite a lot done. First thing was a bath in the ice cold river in the morning. Was a super refreshing start into the day. Then we headed to Zharkent and first did the insurance for the vehicles. This took longer than expected. After that we had pizza at Dodos, which Nicole already had back in Turkistan. It was good, but not a real Italian pizza, more like fast food.
Then we did some shopping, finally a good shop, the last couple of days it was always hard to get groceries. With all the chores done, we visited the mosque and church, both quite special.
First we had the plan to drive further west, but as it was already getting late and the sun sets at 18:00 here, we decided to head back to the spot from the day before. Another swim, now in a bit warmer water, closed off the day.
