A resting day in Osh

Osh is the second biggest city in Kyrgyzstan. It lies in the beautiful and big Fergana valley. Its main population consists out of Kyrgyz, Tajik, Russian and Uzbek. There is supposed to be the biggest market of central asia here. It is also famous for its World Heritage Site which is the Suleyman mountain. We had stuff to stay around for.

But actually we did some other things 🙂 We had a long sleep and a good breakfast. Then a stroll around and bought the Kyrgyz SIM card. The collection was getting bigger. Then we went back and did the laundry. Our clothes were really dirty!

In the evening we went for another walk and climbed the Suleyman hill. There is a nice view on the city from here. We walked down and through the market but it was already finished by now. It was no big deal for me as I am not such a big fan of markets. We went to a restaurant where the bikers would probably be and we met them. We had some food and a beer and went back home.

Tomorrow we will ride north towards the capital but it will most likely be a two days ride!
