Thanks.
The great weather on top of it all—just pure joy to take in the scenery.
Have you ever been to Tash Rabat?

Yes.
Unfortunately, the caravanserai has been covered with sheet metal to protect it, and it's really ugly.
Thankfully, the landscapes in the area are still very beautiful—otherwise, there wouldn’t be much point in going there.

I was aware of the project to cover this monument for restoration work.
I had mentioned these works in one of my messages. I preferred not to tell you so you could still enjoy the mountainous surroundings.
Still a beautiful blue sky, that’s great.
Safe travels.

Yes, the scenery is absolutely stunning! ð
Construction work is planned, but is the funding keeping up?
It’s the same in Uzgen. The mausoleum is under sheet metal for the same reasons.
For the sky, we had two versions: completely overcast the day before, then crystal blue the next day.
Both had their own charm.
The worst was the fog so thick you could cut it with a knife or the torrential rain!

The fog, yeah... but I can also tell you that the yak is the same... ð

You don’t know the right suppliers! !ðĪŠ


Yak sausage isn’t bad.
Maybe a bit pricey...
And it cuts really well with a Laguiole knife! ð
