Ciao Almaty

Considering how much I've wittered on about it, it's hard to believe we were only in Almaty four days. Here's some other highlights from the trip. See you back in Astana for killer benches, mega malls, and lovely curves ...

Three boys and a Cathedral. Can we stop talking about guide books now?

Nobody knows the cause of
Almaty's pollution problem

But litter is not a problem!

The giant mountains overlooking the city are stunning.

We were treated to an incredibly warm welcome and delicious food
by our colleague Saulye and her parents. Thanks for having us!

The sun recedes behind the mountains, seen here through the pollution.
And the sun sets on our trip too ... bye bye Almaty!
