Lake Kolsai Kazakstan

After lunch a solo trip for me in the car to Lake Kolsai . A little bit concerned that we might no have enough cash to pay for petrol if we could only pay in cash to get back to Almaty for Thursday, but it turned out that the car could be filled for 9000T and we had 20,000 in total left so even without a card, that was enough for another full tank, therefore enough.

Trip to Lake Kolsai 1 - there is a second a 4.5km hike past the first. I skipped that and just did lake number one. After all this was already my second lake of the day. This was much, much more touristy with stalls, horse rides archer and pedalos. Dana I'm sure would have like those had she come. In all about an hour to walk down to the lake, explore take a few photos and reascend. That was all I needed to do there. The drive there and back was interesting as there were horses and cows wondering freely in the streets both of Saty, where we are staying and on the way to the lake.Read more
