Fermented Mares' Milk
BY ROB on 16th AUGUST
We're through Uzbekistan and Krygyzstan and into Kazakhstan. The drive from Osh to Bishkek was awesome, and we celebrated our highest pass of 3185m by sampling fermented mare's milk. That is just about as disgusting as it sounds, and we both did very well not to offend the locals by vomitting it back up again instantly. Still, you have to try these things! Almaty provided us with entertainment last night in the form of live music and London-priced beer. Now, if it can provide an English-speaking mechanic with a torque wrench, that would be even better. Oh...and a big thank you to all those who have sponsored us so far. Not too late for all you keen blog readers who have been putting it off, though! We have reached our Hope and Homes target, and just need a little more to do the same for Mercy Corps.
