hat igen, ez a nap is eljott... de kezdjunk mindent az elejen: song-kul, 3016 m-en talalhato to, a masodik legnagyobb a vilagon. korulotte hegyek es jurtak. olyan jurtak, amik nem a turistaknak vannak elokeszitve, hanem amiben hus-ver helyiek elik nomad eletuket. nem nagyon volt fogalmam arrol, hogy hogy jutok el oda, de abban nagyjabol biztos voltam, hogy nem akarok szervezett turan reszt venni.
a remek hotel utan taxit kerestem, ami atvisz a 3100 m-es hagon. es persze olcson. ilyen nem volt, ugyhogy fogtam egy buszt (megosztott taxit), ami elvitt az utolso jarhato faluig. ott elkezdtem fuvart keresni. egy ora elteltevel kicsit elszomorodtam, mert osszesen 2 helyi volga hajtott el, ami celom eleresehez edeskevesnek tunt. aztan felporogtek az esemenyek, es hirtelen 3 auto is jott. fogtam a legolcsobbat - epp egy buszt -, ahol a vegen meg vacsorat is kaptam (a leheto legszunyogosabb helyen alltunk meg kajalni), es ingyen szallast is inteztek aznapra. nem tudom, miert, de az utnak csak bizonyos reszeiert kellett fizetnem, osszessegeben a feleert. nem baj, nem panaszkodtam... es az atlag 3-napos utat letudtam masfel alatt (:
ujabb taxi, ami a hegynek felfele vezeto ut toveben rakott ki. innen gyalog gondoltam felmenni, 3 napra terveztem. kb. 2 km utan megallt mellettem egy nemet turistakat szallito busz, felvett, es felvitt a toig. vicces volt latni a sok nemet turistat, ahogy felpercenkent megallitottak a buszt, kiszalltak fenykepezkedni, majd tovabbhajtottunk. egy kicsit en is nemet turistanak erezhettem magam. azert orulok, hogy nem igy utazom... :P
amint meglattam az elso tevet a tonal, mondtam, hogy rakjanak ki. irany a jurtak!!! odamentem, es mondtam a helyieknek, hogy szeretnek ott maradni 1-2 napot, cserebe segitek a munkaban. ezen nevettek egyet - megjegyzem, jogosan -, neztek ram furcsan egy darabig, de mindjart mondtak, hogy szeretettel latnak. egybol elokerult az asztal, kaja, tea, vodka, kinek mi kellett. en maradtam a kajanal es a teanal, bar nagyon szerettek volna meggyozni arrol, hogy jot fog tenni egy kis vodka a hideg ellen... (:
hihetetlen aranyos csalad volt, nagyon jol ereztem magam naluk. es ezt nem csak altalanossagbol irom, mert utana voltam kevesbe kedves csaladoknal is - de errol majd kesobb. a fovarosbol ott volt a fel csalad, ezert eleg nagy felhajtas volt. masnap reggel mar nem usztam meg, es 9-re ket vodkat is belemkonyorogtek!!! mondtam, hogy a hetre ennyi volt... :P
aztan jott a feketeleves. minden etkezes kb. kenyerbol, teabol, kumiszbol, lekvarbol es vajbol allt. de mivel most rokonok voltak, meg minden, igy unnepi ebed volt. 5 birkat vagtak le. az egyik feje a maga valojaban pillanatok alatt az orrom elott landolt. akkor meg vigyorogtam, meg fenykepezgettem... de amikor kezdodott a kinalgatas: birkabelek tobb variacioban, birkaful, agy, es a legnagyobb inyencseg: a szeme. hat hogy tudtam volna erre nemet mondani?!? nem baj, mondom magamnak, nem gondol, csak eszik, nem gondol, csak eszik... mindenesetre azota osszeszorul a gyomrom, amikor ezekre a percekre gondolok... (((:
lehet, hogy talan ez az oka annak, hogy 3 normalis nap utan ujra gyomorgondok jelentkeztek?!?
nem volt nap, ami lovaglas vagy csacsigolas nelkul telt volna. es mindez olyan kornyezetben, hogy amulatbaejto - meg az elozoek ismereteben is!!! volt nap, amikor volt szerencsem lohaton behajtani a tobbi lovat - persze egy kis segitseggel...
harmadnap tovabballtam, de nem voltam tul jol, igy valamelyik jurtaban hivtak egy dokit. pedig en csak aludni akartam egy orat. a doki meglepodott a 100-as vernyomasomon, de mondtam neki, hogy nalam ez 'ocseny normalnyi' (nagyon normalis - altalam eszkabalt orosz szoosszetetel). erre megnyugodott, es kiosztotta a tennivalokat. minvel egy kukkot nem ertettem, igy inkabb en kerdeztem, tobbnyire elodontendo kerdeseket, vagy amire tuti megertem a valaszt. kaptam gyogyszert is, szoval full extras jurta volt. ennek ellenere mennem kellett tovabb.
az uton talalkoztam egy olasz ujsagironovel, aki a ferjet kovette autoval, aki biringazott. teljesen meg volt lepodve, hogy mi a turot csinalok ott, de aztan 'felvette az adataimat', ugyhogy valamikor a nyar vegen meg ujsagcikk is lehet belolem (:
harmadik jurtanak egy igen budoset sikerult valasztanom, de hat ez is benne van a pakliban. (sajnos azota is visszakoszon a szag a halozsakomon) persze, mindenhol ezer gyerek van. itt is volt, csak valahogy nem torodtek veluk annyira. a kiskolyoknek allandoan a szajaig folyt a takony, azt belekente a full-dzsuva ruhajaba, es mindezek utan vegigmaszott az ebedloasztalon. eh, mondom, itt van az a pont, ahol mar mindegy, hogy figyelek-e arra, hogy en tiszta legyek... (((:
ertheto okokbol innen a reggelit kovetoen azonnal leptem. gondoltam, felmaszom egy kisebb hegyre, amin van egy kis hofolt, aztan irany tovabb. ez a kisebb hegy 3.5 ora volt felfele, es masfel lefele... es 80-160 lepesenkent meg kellett allnom, mert nem kaptam rendesen levegot! mindegy, megerte a latvanyert, az biztos.
aznapra egesz jo kis jurtat fogtam ki (meg napelem is volt!!!), de mar ereztem, hogy ideje visszaternem a civilizacioba. marmint a helyibe...
utolso napom reggel 6-kor tehenfejessel kezdodott. elso nap mar probalkoztam, de akkor sehogy sem ment. most viszont, mintha egy profi veszett volna el bennem (profi parasztlany?!? (((: ). szoval tok jol ment, de miutan csontta fagytam, inkabb visszabujtam a halozsakba.
ez volt az a hely, ahol az emberek jo resze mar oroszul sem tudott. nem gondoltam volna, hogy eljon az a perc, amikor nehany orosz szoert halas leszek (((:
lenyeg, hogy azota ujra tudom, hogy hanyadika van, mennyi az ido, ettem etteremben, van telefon, 6 nap utan ujra letusolhattam es egyeb apro oromok... hiaba, en mar tul varosi vagyok ahhoz, hogy ezeket egy hetnel tovabb nelkulozni tudjam... de elcserelni nem cserelnem el semmiert az elmult par napot!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
yeah, this day has also come to my life... but let's start it at the beginning: song-kul lake, at the altitude of 3016 m, the second biggest in the world. surrounded by mountains, yurts. yurts, that are not made up for tourists, but yurts, where real local kyrgyz people live their nomadic life. i had no idea how i could get there, but i was sure, that i did not want any organized tour or such.
after my amazing hotel in jalal-abad i started searching for a taxi, that could get me over the pass on the height of 3100 m, and for cheap of course. (: no such thing, so i took the shared taxi, that took me to the farest possible point and left me there hitchhiking. i got a bit disappointed, when only two local volgas passed in an hour. then in a minute i had 3 cars to choose, so i luckily took a bus, where the driver invited me for dinner (the place we stopped for dinner was full of mosquitoes (((: ) and organized me free accomodation. for some reason i was charged for only part of the journey, but who cares... the average 3-day long journey took me one and a half ((:
then another taxi, that left me on the bottom of the way up to the lake. i wanted to walk up in 3 days. after walking ~2km i was taken by a german tourist bus and drove until the lake (for free of course (: ). it was funny seeing the tourists as they asked the driver to stop the bus in every 5 minutes, getting off the bus, taking 3 pictures and going further on. i am happy i dont travel that way... :P
as i saw the first camel next to the river, i asked them to stop. so, up to the yurts. i entered to a symphatic one and asked for accomodation and tried to offer my help as an exchange. they kind of laughed, when they understand what i wanted (i totally understand why :P), but were very pleased to host me. immediately i was seated and offered some food, tea and vodka of course!!! i did not take vodka even though they really wanted to convince me that it is very good for my health and against cold as well... (:
the family was unbelievably nice. and it is really not that i am polite or so, because later on i stayed with families, that were not that kind at all... anyway, the family had guests from bishkek, so life was really active there. next day i could not escape and had to have two vodkas - before 9 am!!! (((: but i told them, that this was the portion for the week... :P
then came the shocking part. imagine having all meals as bread, jam, butter, kymys and tea. but for the guests they cut 5 sheeps and prepared a huge feast. somehow one head landed just in front of me on the table. wow, i was still happy, taking pictures and laughing... but when i was offered by several variations of intestines of the sheep, ears, brain... and the most delicious part (by their imagination): the eyes!!! so, how can one say no for this?!? kind of a once in a lifetime experience, so i just closed my eyes, and told to myself: 'eat, dont think, eat, dont think!' anyway, my stomach still gets stuck, when this occurs to me... (((:
maybe this is the reason why i again have stomach problems after 3 normal days?!?
no day passed without riding a horse or a donkey. and i had a chance to collect animals on a horse - that was fun!!! and - even after the previous pictures in my blog - i have to say, that the nature here was even more beautiful, then before!!!
the third day i went further on, but i had stomach problems, so i saw a doctor in one of the yurts. i did not mean it, i just wanted to sleep an hour. the doctor got shocked on my 100 blood pressure, but when i told her, that it is ocheny normalnyi (absolutely normal - an expression made by me) for me. so she gave me some pills to take and advised. as i did not understand a word, i started asking rather and tryed to get answers, that i could easily understand. anyway, i had to go further.
the third yurt was a pretty smelly one... but yeah, that can also happen. of course there are a lot of kids everywhere. same here, but this kid was just so dirty, and i could hardly escape from his hugs... ok, gotta go again! the next day i was going up to a small mountain. this came up a big bigger, than i expected. going up took me 3.5 hours, and i had to stop in every 5 minutes, because i could hardly breath. anyway, the view was spectacular!!
that day i had a full service yurt, even with solar cells, but i already felt, that it was time to get back to civilization. i mean, the local one...
last morning i got up at 6 and milked a cow!!! first day i already tried it once, but i just could not do that. maybe in these days i became a bit nomadic, so it just succeeded without any problem. i cannot say, that i am professional, but it was fun. after getting frozen, i got back to my sleeping bag.
this was the place, where people spoke more kyrgyz, then russian. i did not think earlier, that the moment will come, when i am happy about hearing some russian words! (((:
anyway, i again know the date and the time, i had a shower after 6 days, ate warm dish in a restaurant and other small things... it is true, i am a city kid, i cannot hide it... but i would never change these days!!! (:
