Started the day with a run, was fun but also a bit frustrating how hard it has become to run 10 km… I’m really out of practice. Goal for the second half of the journey, try to squeeze in more runs.

Breakfast was good and afterwards we started the walk towards the bazaar, just to realize that it doesn’t exist anymore. But there was a small fruit and vegetable market on the other river side, so we checked it out and stocked up on fresh stuff as well.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped at the insurance company and did the mandatory insurance for the car.

Then it was time to relax in the AC’d room, before we hiked to the “Sulayman Mountain”, which is in the middle of the city and provided a quite nice view of it.

For dinner we met the other Swiss couples who drove the Pamir via another route, was fun to meet again.
