Can’t wait to be there! Do you think it’s more beautiful to visit Song Kul or the Issukul?

I didn't visit Issyk Kul, and not going there is like going to Rome and don't visit the Colosseum! By the way, Issyk Kul is huge and it has several different things to see, beaches, canyons, etc...

One of our neighbours had a Yurt in her backyard which she used for sleeping in the summer and also operating art classes which I used to attend. It certainly is very open spaced land where you were. We also have wild horses here in Australia, they are called Brumbies. Not long ago when we were on holidays we drove over Mt Hotham and as we were coming down the other side there were several Brumbies on the side of the road, my husband driving cautiously in case they were spooked by the motor cyclist who passed us. Lucky he didn’t hit the kangaroo that ran across the road in front of him.

Is your neighbour from Central Asia or Mongolia?

No Flavio, she is Australian, but had travelled and was quite taken with the Yurts, and having the space decided to buy one.

What a unique experience. Riding wild horses with stunning scenery sounds like a memorial trip. How warm were the yurts night?
