Day 109 Jul 27 Fri - Kyzylorda to Wild camp 400km to Aral'sk

This man is more than a nuisance than help which we don't want to offend
A camp fire to keep the mosquito away
Swampy lowland that we passed

Train station in Kyzylorda

Fishing spot in some of the lake
And the small little fish they caught

It was only a half day ride as we went to the internet in the morning which open at 9 am.Yesterday was closed at 7 pm.We spent 5 hr and it was by far the most expansive one we had have. Not only it charde 150T/hr but also for the megabait used,at the end I paid 2000T ( Rm65) . Back to the hotel,pack up & only left at 4 pm after having lunch on the way out. Crossed the bridge over the Syr Darya River flowing parallel to road M32.Along the way ,many small lakes and swampy lowland, people seen fishing ,and the fish caught more like " lampan" in Malaysia. We found a campsite but was far away from the river.So no water for washing & bath. We had to entertain one man who came to our camp to offer him cigarette and food in exchange for a bottle of fermented cow milk. We started a camp fire to keep the annoying mosquito away.
