Kyrgyzstan

Hi there. This place is like a cork bulletin board with pictures and stories created during and after I visited Kyrgyzstan for about a month in 2015 and then again for a few months in 2016. I might write a little blurb right here in the future about what it was like. It was pretty special!

//////////

Below are links to stories I've written about this trip

• 23 Jun, 2015 Sleeping on the Pamir Highway, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
• 15 Jun, 2015 My jugs, Kyrgyzstan
• 10 Jun, 2015 One hundred kilometres of bicycle travel, Kyrgyzstan
• 23 Apr, 2015 Padded bicycle shorts, Kyrgyzstan

Here are just a few pictures from the visits

(The posts above contain many more.)
