Kendal mint vodka

Great day of trekking in Ala Archa National Park, near Bishkek.

Swirling clouds, stunning alpine scenery. Quite breathless as the altitude was relatively high.

At about 11am, we were sheltering under a rock from some rain when some walkers from St Petersburg offered us some vodka as a pick-me-up. We politely declined. I have a red blotchy reaction to vodka and my face was red enough.

Plus, it's vile.
