In spite of the rather lumpy tussocks under our tent, we slept quite well which surprised us. Had a nice stroll int Almaty, keeping to our times almost perfectly. stopped for coffee in a cafe at first time control and couldn't work out why all the organisers were hurrying us on, but supposed they wanted to get to the Intercontinental for a feel of civilisation and not hang around waiting for us. Well, 2 gin and tonics, which we felt we deserved after the rigours of claiming a room without a double bed which had presumably been booked for 2 years, cost £50! Ha. The Kazakhs know how to get rich.
Watching your every blog,just keep em coming and keep on puncing on through that open country.
