We finished the vegetation recording! It's really hot and we walked for about 5 km. The boys are waiting for us in the car at the side of the road. We are waving and shouting to show that they should pick us up, but the don't see or hear us. So we have to walk back the whole way ... Thanks boys ...

Dead
Everywhere in the village and along the road lies around much garbage,


Gebiss
but to see this dead cow is extreme ...

Tomorrow we are moving on to the Kunawski Bridge again. There Clare is leaving me, because she will fly back to Germany the next days. That means the next weeks I will stay only with the kazakh boys until I come back to Almaty ...
