For 3 consecutive days after leaving Elista,we had been doing 100 over km each day.Today ,a beautiful river camp spoilt our target at 94 km at time 7.00pm .Heather and I were trying to reach an agreement whether to ride on or to camp as this concerns to our "discipline" issue . Hardly one minites after both agreed to ride on, I changed my mind to camp and I was quite surprised with Heather agree too. We saw some peoples fishing,swimming,and having picnic but not a single tent. We did not setup our tents yet and went for a swin and washed our cloths. The people were surprised to see us and keen to know our stories and invited us to join them for food and a glass of volka and BBQ chickens. With two bowls of "lafmah" and 2 fried eggs earlier and now this, We did not have to cook our dinner tonite!
