Finally crossed into Kyrgystan after two borders and a thankfully brief dash through Kazakhstan. We spent an eventful night camped on the concrete pasture of no mans land between the two countries due to the Kazakhstan border being shut. It's not very often you get a chance to do that!! I think the truckers and border guards were a bit bemused to see a load of tents go up but needs must. I also managed to jog to the barrier and back to establish a run in no mans land, something I'll never do again. Kazakstan is one country I would never visit again. The police seemed to stop us evry few miles in the hope of making a quick buck which they managed successfully. The locals seem to be very disheartened and in complete contrast to the Uzbeks and I felt an underlying feeling of anger. I also did not see Borat so highly disapointed with that!
Anyway onwards and upwards literally to the mountains in Krygystan and some decent trekking. Bring it on!!
