Bokonbaevo, south of Lake Issyk-Kul

I, Babara, and Denny left Cholpon-Ata together to see the falcon (Birds of Prey) Festival "Salburun" on 9/6. We used shared taxi (200 som) to get to Balykchy then bus (100 som) to Bokonbaevo. We had lunch at the center ten walked 2 km to the guesthouse ($10 including breakfast) Bokonbaevo is the largest settlement in the south of Lake Issyk-Kul. We rested then hitchhiked on a truck to the town center, the beach town Ton, then hitchhiked back to town center to buy materials to cook dinner. It was a full day.
