  • Summary

  • We are back in the 'Stans and to the country of Kyrgyzstan. Or KERR-GEE-Stan as we way it. I think. This place definitely wins the award for wackiest spelling of a country with the lack of vowels.

    Kyrgyzstan is super remote, not heavily travelled, and very easy on the eyes. A country with a whole lotta mountains and lakes if that's your thing. For such an interesting place, we were surprised to hear how little people go there.

    Some of the highlights include a walnut forest. One of the biggest in the world. An old tower that dates back to the time of the Silk Road. And the WORLD NOMAD GAMES!

    These games look absolutely wild with eagle hunting, belt wrestling, bone throwing, and of course, goat-polo-basketball. Kok Boru as it's actually called but basically a horseback game where you throw a goat into a hole. Yep. Never thought that was a thing but definitely sounds awesome.

    Have you been to #Kyrgyzstan? Tell us what we missed or what we (hopefully) got right!
