Borovoe & Zhumbaktas

---

Borovoe is holiday area 240km north of Astana, looks likey they all come up in autumn time to party.

Hotel was OK, bit pricey £50, but check out by 9 !!, that is after 3km walk to see Zum.. and swim to it & back - thought 'was holiday!.



Resort like any others, pumping loud music into night, perhaps Quad bikes are different - do wizz about with guest & 2 kiddies on, no helmets.



Lakes were nice, cool refresh to swim in, but shore side was spoilt by endless fences to separate paying guests, so do mossies know which side fence too stay?



Millage 500km to resort, more scruffy roads & tracks, got the idea now. About 8000km on bike.
