There are good & bad things happen today.The road is getting better compared yesterday's rough and uneven surfaces,the mountain scenery slope is beautiful and lots of watermelons stalls.One Turkey family havesting the watermelons passing the

watermelons like basketball.They offered and cut one watermelon for us.The bad things is,I had 2 flat tyres at the same spot,confirmed there is a crackline at he spoke that causes rubbing against the inner tube. The best part is while busy fixing the flat,another free watermelon for us.It is no denying that Kyrgyzs are such a friendly people.After passing thru a 100m tunnel and a bridge.Tashkomur town is on the opposite side of the main road with a beautiful blue River Naryn flowing in between.If a bungy jump is to be built on this bridge,it can rival with the Kawarau bumgy jump in New Zealand.
