After a not so great night, we both got up around 1 am and had stomach issues, the day was started super lazy. Thankfully it was quite cloudy in the morning, so we just lay in our camping chairs and hoped for a quick recovery.
We started to feel a little bit better over time and found a swimming pool close to the Uzbek border. So this was our main goal for today, as it was again over 35 degrees, this was the best thing todo.
Now we stand only a couple hundred meters from the border, which we will try to cross tomorrow morning (4:45am). Hopefully we feel fully recovered by then.
