Day 14 Kaza Gomic Village, Highest Inhabited Village in Asia.

Off we go again, to the above village, the highest inhabited village at 14700ft, pretty darn good,as fairly new monastery there. Many of the other riders were feeling the affects of the altitude. I wasn't to bad, & walked around the village a bit as did Jon-Luke. With what we had seen I thought well that was ok. The best was yet to come. We went down a different road. That was ok, then low and behold we come to this piece of road, that once again had been carved out of a cliff, this time it was very narrow, one piece had broken away, so it was just wide enough for a small vehicle. So we had rocks overhanging us, the narrowest gravel rocky road, & about a 2000ft drop. Excuse the french, but I said, "oh fuckkkkk" Jon-Luke said " oh yeahhhhh". A great thrill. Back to the hotel, no power. Another night of darkness, I braved a cold shower, I swear the water had come from a glacier it was so cold, needless to say it was a very quick shower.
I had washed, well sought of washed our clothes in the basin & along with many others hung them out to dry in the motel court yard. Beautiful hot days, very slight wind, so they dried no problem. The chinese laundry thing is quite common. LOL.
