By far the highlight of our trip so far was Good Friday. They Aussie's in our team headed out of town and went to check out the mountains. We live in a small city and things aren't usually too busy, but it was so nice to get away and see some beautiful scenery and breathe some fresh air.
We hired a mashootka (16 seater) for $80. For our money we got our transport, petrol and driver. What a bargain.
The scenery was stunning. Beautiful green hills, snow covered mountains, a rocky stream, low cloud cover and a little bit of rain. We got to have a picnic and went for a walk into the mountains. There were sheep grazing and everybody got a chance to run around. Sammy spent most of the day running at an embankment and by the end of the day succeeded in falling down it!
On the way back I got to try some fermented horse milk. It wasn't too bad, but not something I'd want to drink every day.
Hopefully we can head back to the mountains some time soon
