Waking up very early in Song-Kul due to the biting cold, I sought out any Yurt that had a fire going to get warm. Everyone was still asleep so a quick visit to the toilet and tried to snuggle back into the blanket curling up hoping to fall back asleep.
I really wanted to slow down and not ride everyday going from one place to another. This was proving challenging as well since Song-Kul had nothing going on other then pure nature.

No signal, no internet, no entertainment and just a lake with beautiful mountain view. While nice, the price of the Yurt Camp was slightly out of my laze and do nothing budget hence the hesitation to stay another night doing nothing.
Thinking back, I should have stayed and do nothing but such is the nature of travel. The ride was back-tracking the same off-road to the main-road going to Bishkek.

I decided that if I would need to ride everyday, I would at lease limit the distance at least hence the decision to stay in Kochkor a little town with nothing much of interest. It was a stopover town where most backpackers just stay one night and move on.
Reaching early in the afternoon, I met my hostel mate Rose. Explore and walk around Kochkor for the day and then it was bedtime. Next morning I packed up and left a goodbye note for Rose while I pushed on for Issyk-Kul Lake.
