🇰🇬Kyrgyzstan: A room with a view

The ladies of Edwardian England in E.M Foster's novel may have had a good view of Florence, but Florence and I have a more spectacular view. It's from the mother of a friend's house where we are staying in Bishkek. Photos don't do justice to the 7000m high mountains that tower over the city.

This is the 1st time that we have stayed with relatives of friends. We get a very hearty welcome and an even heartier meal in a local restaurant. Our host orders so much food that we need FIVE doggy bags for the food left over.

The hospitality continued back home with snacks of local cheese and beer. 1st time that I have a beer from a plastic bottle, but why not it tastes great.Baca lagi
