We wanted so much to at least hit 100km per day , but we were so very tired and exhausted riding under hot sun the whole day,what's more the last 20km were met with strong headwind on a very barren land on both sides of the road.Imagine there is not a single house or tree on this stretch,our speed was down to 8-10 kmh. My mind was wondering " Can I find a campsite here?" Frankly I wasn't confident,the only sensible thing is to keep pedalling,while Heather was at the back out of my vision. We really needed a campsite badly! Luck was always smile on me at the right time.I spotted two deserted houses near the roadside and a running electrical pump operated well opposite side of the road. The well water from the ground must be constructed by the government to help the farmers to irrigate the field. The water was so cold , we dared not dip inside even under hot sun. Earlier at 50km mark , we passed by Turkistan and visited the famous "Kozha Ahmed Yasaui Mausoleum " said built in 14th century and restored by Turkey . The locals almost 100% are muslim were surprised that someone from Malaysia has come to this place and wanted to take pictures together. Have roasted chichen and lamb skewer for lunch cost 810T. Also some free watermelons and honey due melons along the way.
