In wooden cottage at Borovoe

Imagine. Green reservoir with a beautiful lake and cliffs that surround the forest in the middle of the empty steppe...that's Borovoe. And there you are staying in the warm wooden cottage in early cold autumn in Northern Kazakhstan. The region is not far from Southern Siberia, so early autumn weather can be very chilling. And just before the dinner, you've been to traditional "banya" ("sauna"). And then it is the dinner time...

I appreciate Leila's family who organized this small trip for us.
