After just a day and a half of walking, we arrived at a small community called Sarydzhaz. From there, we rode in the back of a sheep truck with wheel issues to a house in Samarkandyk. It was the family house of the woman who sold us bread in the Kara-Su, pictured a few posts ago, and of the guides who led us out (they're related!). It was a wonderful evening, in a very special place.
The next morning we drove back to Batken, where Kevin and I would board a plane back to Bishkek. We already had our tickets, but they were sold out when Alix tried to buy one. She would get a ride in a van back to the city, and thus ended our travels as a trio.
