Around the World On One Lake


Lake Issy Kul is long and thin. It took me three days to ride along it's southern coast. The mountains to the north provided a nice backdrop the whole way. While the southern coast changed from day to day. The eastern end was green with wheat fields and tall trees. The second day looked like it had been plucked out of the mediterranean. Complete with donkeys, white rocks and short green shrubs. By the time I took the turnoff towards Kochkor I felt like I was in some desert oasis. Every night I found some tucked away spot on the beach to camp and swim in the clear water.
