Good morning.
Well surprise surprise we are back at the airport again.
Oh, yes.
Time for another kind of exciting adventure.
Uh-huh.
So we've spent a little bit of time in Europe.
Yeah.
But already we're leaving.
We're heading back to Central Asia.
Yeah!
Specially Kyrgyzstan!
I know a country we've already been to before not too long ago.
Yes.
We were there last fall for the World Nomad Games.
Yes.
And we also did a lot of outdoor things.
So we're heading back and yeah right now we're eating and we'll tell you a little bit more
about what we're going to be doing there later.
Yeah.
But first food.
First food.
We need energy and what did you get?
I got a carrot cake.
Carrot cake.
I got a couple surprises in here.
Surprises.
There are surprises.
A sandwich.
And a surprise more cake.
Alright, let's begin.
So what have we got?
The sandwich.
Sam ordered this one.
So it just looks like ham and cheese.
It is like a panini style.
Grilled roasted red peppers.
Yeah, it looks good.
So now that we're leaving Budapest what did you think of this city?
We had a good time here.
Yeah, we did.
We were here for two weeks and honestly they flew by.
They flew by.
I didn't feel like we've been here that long.
We had so much work to catch up on which is kind of the story of our lives but we actually
really did enjoy the city.
We enjoyed the baths, we enjoyed just the old architecture here.
The city has a lot of charm for sure.
And now I'm enjoying the sandwich.
We now move on to dessert for Sam's favorite.
Carrot cake.
Yeah, carrot cake is basically if it is not my favorite cake then I'm not sure what is
ahead of it at the moment.
Oh man it has got three layers of cream cheese icing.
Three layers of icing.
That is scrumptious.
Scrumptious he says.
Oh my.
The cream cheese icing is fantastic on it.
Oh yeah.
And last but not least we have a square.
I'm already full.
Haha.
I've had my sugar for the day with that carrot cake.
I know.
That is a little bit more than I thought if that would be enough but it definitely has
been.
So what is this?
Early lunch.
Cherries?
Yeah, it is called a sour.
It was described as sour cherry.
Sour cherry pie.
Yep.
Mmmm.
Is it good?
Is it sour?
It is sour but then you have lots of icing sugar on top.
So it has got that contrast huh?
So you get some sweetness coming through.
That is good.
Going in for the second bite.
Mmmmm.
Quality control.
I must make sure.
It is edible.
Now you can have some.
So now that we've made it through security time for an update.
But first we should mention traveling with a drone is really really complicated.
It is like having a third wheel that doesn't belong in your relationship.
It is like having a child.
A baby.
No, I would say a child can always come with you right?
Whereas a drone.
That is true.
Everywhere we've been there has been different rules.
It is like oh you can carry it in your check-on.
No, you can only have in your checked bag.
No, the battery has to be removed.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Anyways we had to stuff it.
And the rules are changing all of the time too.
They are.
For this leg of the journey we had to stuff it in our checked luggage.
Yes.
After removing its battery.
Yes.
So hopefully it is going all the way to Bishkek.
Keeping our fingers crossed.
Yeah.
That it will actually arrive.
So we'll give you an update when we actually arrive.
We'll be like did the drone make it or not?
It should be interesting.
Anyways, the reason for the update we wanted to tell you guys why we're going back to Kyrgyzstan
so soon because I mean it has been less than a year since our first visit.
And basically when we went there the first time we were working with the tourism board
to showcase the World Nomad Games.
Yep.
And tourism in the country is kind of like still emerging so they've been developing
a lot of new hiking routes and trekking routes.
So basically we are there with a group of bloggers and we are all going to be exploring
these new I guess sightseeing opportunities.
New activities.
Yeah.
And showing you guys what you can do there.
I think one of the main trails we are doing horse trekking.
We're going horse-trekking.
It has been newly developed so it is kind of exciting we're kind of we're pioneering.
We're not the actual pioneers but we're kind of the guinea pigs doing some of these test
runs.
Yeah.
Yeah, it should be a lot of fun.
And we're also going to be spending some time in cities and doing yurt stays and cooking
classes I think.
That maybe on the itinerary.
There will be some cultural things as well.
And then I think we're going to have a little bit of our own time in Bishkek at the end.
Woo hoo.
Yeah, it is going to be a really good trip.
We're both really excited about it.
And yeah, back in Kyrgyzstan.
Yeah.
So see you soon.
We'll be boarding in a bit.
So we are at the old bazaar here inside the airport and Sam what is your favorite thing
about the airport in Istanbul?
The free samples of Turkish Delight and baklava.
Uh huh.
Oooh.
That is what we came for.
It has lots of goodness he says.
It has lots of goodness.
I got us a salad buffet and I'll even try to reveal.
Look.
Ooh.
There is layer upon layer and the bottom.
Couscous.
At the bottom there is beans, there is couscous, there is wait wait wait.
Did you just call it?
Beetroot.
What did you just call it?
Couscous or Cuzco?
Cusco.
We're going to Cusco.
Anyways, yeah it was a real find and after we get through the healthy stuff we've got
baklava for dessert.
One of my favorites.
Of course.
So let's dig in.
Cusco.
Just kidding.
Couscous.
That is nice.
You look like a little rabbit with carrots hanging out of your mouth.
I wanted to go for something healthy and light.
So this is perfect.
Alright, so we've been good girls and boys.
We had our salad now this is what we were after.
Dessert.
Let's do this.
Let's do this man.
Look at that.
Remember when we were in Istanbul like 3 years ago and we bought that by the box?
And we would eat a box a day.
It was horrible.
Horrible.
I think that is the fattest I've ever been after Istanbul.
Mmmm.
Is that good?
Look at those layers.
Let me see.
Out of focus.
And it is just.
There it is focus.
It is soaked in honey.
It is so good.
Mmmm.
And we each get our own.
Hit the spot?
There is toti.
Hello toti.
Bye toti.
Peppy.
Let's be nice a peppy.
Just kidding.
It has been a long day.
It has.
It is already dark out.
But we're finally boarding second flight to Bishkek.
Let's go.
Let's get er done.
And update.
Welcome to Bishkek.
Woo.
Audrey is super peppy super awake.
Oh my gosh.
It was so much energy.
On that flight I didn't sleep a lot.
Maybe one hour so I'm running on no sleep.
I slept a bit more and you see these pillows that we bought recently?
Those allowed me to sleep at the airport.
I had like a beauty rest prior to getting on the flight so I feel a little bit better
than you do I think.
So drone update.
The drone arrived.
It did.
The drone is in Kyrgyzstan.
That is a massive relief.
Woo hoo.
Because not only while not only do we not want to lose it obviously because it is costly
but we really wanted to film here especially.
Yes.
In Kyrgyzstan because the scenery is just so it is amazing.
It is going to be really cool.
Yeah, and then the second thing.
Cool story.
Yeah, kind of a cool story is that two people on the flight recognized us and they had watched
our Kyrgyzstan videos.
They were coming to Kyrgyzstan for the very first time.
Yeah.
And like they had seen our videos which was kind of cool.
One guy was from Europe.
Sweden and one girl from Germany.
Not too many people have made videos about Kyrgyzstan.
Yeah, so that was fun.
We do get spotted from time to time and if you ever do see us come up and say hi.
We're friendly people.
We don't bite too often so unless we're hangry.
Unless we're hangry.
Then stay away.
Alright guys so we are on the road.
A little bit sleepy still.
I've been like waking up and enjoying a little bit of the scenery and then passing out again.
So I think we're going to wrap up this travel day.
Yeah, and the next video you'll see will be one of our adventures out here in Kyrgyzstan.
Oh, we're going horse trekking so stay tuned for that.
