Ski Sunday

Gulim steams ahead

It's difficult to spend more than a few minutes outdoors in the middle of winter. A great exception to this is skiing, and there is no better day to ski than Sunday. 

I couldn't find Sue Barker anywhere, and there is not a hill in sight, so you may wonder how Astana might host such an activity (duh duh dum .. di di dee di di dee di di dee ... etc). 

Park, winter, beaut.

Well cold means snow, and we are blessed with Astana City Park. Put the two together and you have cross-country skiing. This park is overlooked by most residents due to its great age. While in London the age of parks is celebrated, some of them well over 100 years old, in Astana a park is not considered desirable beyond its fifth birthday.

Neverthless, there is a track and ski hire in the park, and one can burn quite a lot of energy on a Sunday afternoon, easily spending an hour outdoors enjoying the fresh air and the beauty of the snow covered park.

Me, taking it all very seriously
