Now we are on the way down south, this is the main direction to reach Uzbekistan in the end. But our next goal was the Aral Sea, a tragic story of how humans destroyed one of the largest lakes in the world in just a couple decades.
Then we drove another one and a half hours to a spot on Lake Qamystybas, where we somehow ended up at a party location for the locals. But we just went with the flow and had dinner at one of the “booths” which was a fun experience.
