We left Osh for the Bishkek unlike most of the group by road, they took the more adventurous off-road route. Despite choosing the less demanding option (I like to think of it as risk management to ensure I get to NYC), it was the most fantastic ride I have ever had.
For a toll of $5 we saw breathtaking scenery of mountains, the
beautiful Lake Toktogul and deep green covered hills and sped along beautifully maintained twisting roads, which for the second day followed a fast flowing river, it was just fantastic.
As we took the faster route we also had an extra day at the hotel in Bishkek - bonus. Today I am nursing a slight hangover.
