Another day of free food.After having free breakfast of bread & tea , we bid farewell & thank you " Rahmet " in Kazakhs . As usual group pictures taken. Then a free lunch of 2 bowls of my favarite Kazakh's noodles with beef & vege " Lafman " from 2 gentlemen who used to fly to China on business trip . At 4.30 another free melon. By 7.00pm , we found our campsite with a nearby cafe house ,we thought we might have a free dinner as well from a very talkative man in his 30 plus who drinks a few cans of beers while Heather have 2. When we signal to leave cos' we haven't set our tent yet, he did not respond while we asked for the bill that cost 770T for 8 fired eggs,bread , milk tea and 2 cans of beers. So disappointed! Tomorrow,we plan to start early and hope to check in a hotel in Kyzylorda early ,to have our blog updated.
