There was an impressive rapids near te lorry park where we spent the night. By midday we were back in the Dostuk Hotel. We got lost in Bishkek, so I asked an elderly man how to get to the Victory Park next to the hotel. He jumped into the van and directed us there. I tried to pay him, because he would have to get a taxi back to his home, but he wouldn’t take anything.
The 21st was a relaxing day. We went to the TsUM mall and bought a rucksack to carry my stuff through China and a joint birthday present for my grandsons.
