It has been extreamly hot with temp of 40c above ,luckily there are lots of watermelons stalls at roadside.We were offered 2 watermelons free,impossible to carry so we ate all at one go.Another occasion is we were told to stop for interview while another man videoshoot. There are from the national TV channels.What a pity not able to watch our own riding action! No accomodation in Bazaar Kurgen but there is one in Leninski as told by the locals. The Hotel in Leninski 10km from Bazaar Kurgen is really cheap 50 som per bed so we took all 3 beds in a room. and also the breakfast and dinner also very the yum...yummm.
