Kyrgyzstan, days 1 to 3: Xinjiang province
My friend Vince and I left Kashgar and I kissed one last time my loved Hui Hui before moving East towards Kyrgyzstan. We spent only 3 days in the first "Stan" that we travel through, heading to Sary Tash before riding straight south to the border with Tajikistan.

We just entered Kyrgysztan, a lot greener than China.

In Sary-Tash: the road to Tajikistan is actually a trail raod, asphalt is limited and we will have to get used to it for the next 2 weeks!

A café or a shop, whatever, in Sary-Tash, an early morning.

On the side of the main road in Sary-Tash.

Vince and I while we leave Sary Tash and before our second snow storm in Kyrgyzstan. We feel warm and dry on that picture and an hour later we'll be totaly wet and freezing cold while arriving at the Kyrgyz border.

We spent the whole afternoon and night around that coal stove, getting our clothes dry and taking a rest before cycling to Kizil Art pass on the next day.

At night fall the weather got better but everything is covered with snow....

The next day in the morning. On the left, the house we stayed in for the night and on the right are the wall fences where yaks and sheeps stay overnight since a few wolfes are still hanging around in the mountaines!
