My ride from Kemin to Balykchy takes me over and through the Boom Gorge. Whilst traveling through the gorge by Marshrutka a few days earlier I felt a strong tail wind a felt excited by the ride. Now that I was on the bike the wind had changed and was now a strong head wind. The ride became exhausting. The gorge is beautiful, steep arid peaks line the roadside. I am not feeling beautiful, I am exhausted. By the time I get through the gorge I have had enough. I make Balykchy and find a homestay again. This time however I have the whole house to myself! I am rather delighted at this as I do not feel like being social, I am more interested in eating and sleeping.
Today is the day of the Scottish independence vote. I have a TV that has a Russian news channel. The headline is да, Шотландия (yes, Scotland) and numbers scroll underneath saying 51% 49%. Footage is of a very happy "Yes" camp and glum looking "No" camp. I think that Scotland is independent. How exciting, I wonder what this means...?
