Part 4.a KYRGYZSTAN

                                                     


                       ......THE  20th DAY

 πŸŒ  10/7... few kilometres after crossing the border from Kazakhstan we arrive  afternoon to Bishkek. Reading general and motorbikes reviews we book Sakura guesthouse for few days , the main reason  was that... here are a lot of  parking's for motorbikes, possible also to leave bike here  garden ,clean, also swimming pool, convenient location , the  owners and staff  are lovely ready to help and answer any questions.  πŸ’›πŸ˜ƒ
Hope is good choose for longer stayπŸ˜‰  we will have pause in our trip Panos is going to Greece for couple of days and I will stay in Bishkek .. or some where around😊


    🏧 the first think get local money sim cart  some mini market and food...🍲😊




                                                                 THE 21th DAY

     πŸŒ We can rest after running for couple of days... Magelanos park bike on the side he can rest to     πŸ˜œπŸš΄...   Is our second time in Kyrgyzstan  I can say that  dosing change  much in lat 5 years sure more people speak English and here are couple of new buildings

After the conversation, we think it will be good to change the rear tire. πŸ€” It is still in good condition and we have not done many kilometres, but because all the heavy things are on the back of the bike and it's very hot and the asphalt temperature is above 40 ° C the tire rubs faster 😎
 ...  I will look tomorrow what  tire they have here and how much 
I have already long long.. list things I must done before Magelanos  come back πŸ˜‰πŸ˜΅


     
                                                              THE 22th DAY

🌏12/07 Panos left very early at  morning, I started  looking for information   where we can buy the tyre.. motorbikes shops ,  motor service  etc🚴



 
                       the tyre is good  enough for a few  more  thousands km.. but then πŸ™‰πŸ™Š

🌏 I decision stay here for next coupe of days is relay convenient for bike and all stuff we have
  then I spend whole day in Internet reading caravanistan... and any other motorbikes forums, checking goggle maps..   tomorrow I will try contact with few service and shops.. good night πŸ’›πŸ˜…

                                                              THE 20th DAY
     πŸŒ Kapshagay to Bishkek  304km and crossing border to Kyrgyzstan
       Good road only a few parts with some construction  but all are good, easy and fast border ( 1h)          πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Ž.  hot hot ,,, we really feel   the meddle of dry continental summer πŸ’›πŸ˜





       we did the way from Shemonaika to Kapshagay  1200km  4 days, we  met other bikers do it in 7 days  here no other option... or take the road and drive us much you can step by step or take other direction  and go to Astana then Almaty. We have our reason ..to get Bishkek us soon  is possible  and the second  that on the East way nothing to see .. but  the area from  Alagol State Nature Reserve to Altyn Emel National Park and Kapshagay Reservoir is very nice and here many places to visit or relax on  the lake.. for us  will one of reasons to come  over again and discover  around πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜Ž

        🚴.... continuation in Kyrgyzstan,,,
