I guess nobody would like to get up at 5 am morning but we had to in order to cover more km before the wind hit us more in the afternoon. It normally takes 2 hr to pack,cook ,so it's 7.15am starts on the road. There are no towns that we passed and the villages are all off a few km from the main road. There is always a bus stop for every entrance to the village and a big architectual
concrate colorful tower, to show the name of the village or town. The road sometime good,but most of the time rough and uneven , like riding on bmx , you have to be good to steer around left & right to avoid a bump or a hole. What I really missed is the watermelons stall , none are seen along here.After crossing river Syr Darya for the 2nd time, we arrived at Zhozali where we cycled to town to buy some camping foods & cold drinks. Our campsite tonite was at the back of a petrol station offered by the owner,free to use the toilet and bathroom outside ( a container on top with the on/off valve just over your head). His has a beautiful daughter Alia , a college student in Kyzylorda, a little English she speaks , chat with us for almost an hour.
