Swimming!

Swimming! Just had an afternoon of chilling on a beach with the remaining group of the convoy near balkash on the big lake in the middle of khazhakstan. Said goodbye to the mongol warriors and lance yesterday. Was nice to be able to have the afternoon off driving today. Planning on hitting semy next. H&C

Don't want to worry you, but...

From Wikipedia :-

In 1937 Balkhash was founded as an industrial city centred around metallurgy. Presently copper is still exploited. The city lies approximately 500 km west of the Chinese border on the north side of the lake on an altitude of 440 m.

The city and the near region are being plagued by environmental issues. Toxic wastes are being buried near the lake by the biggest factory of the city. According to experts around 25,000 tons of heavy metal have entered the lake basin in this way.
