I arrived in Bishkek around 14 on another hot afternoon. I went to a cheap hostel that I had been recommended but nobody was there so I went to Tunduk where I stayed 3 weeks before when I got my Tajik visa. This time I got a better deal with USD 7 including breakfast (last time USD 12 without). In the hostel I met a number of interesting travellers inluding several bicyclists and a French/Argentian couple were very kind to sell me one of their spare tires when I couldn't find one in town...
