Return to Almaty

We left the Atlyn Emel Nat’l park today to head back to Almaty, completing a circle tour of over 1000 kms and as many wonderful memories. Sultan had promised us a visit to the Green Bazaar once back in Almaty and we were glad not to have missed that. It was so uniquely organized by rows of vendors from different countries and by type of produce. Sadly, we could not take advantage of any purchases as we still have miles to go before we are back home and do not wish to lug any extra weight. We had a celebration dinner back at Navat Restaurant and wished one another a safe journey to wherever folks were headed next. Phil from the group is continuing on with us to Kyrgyzstan. We will be transferred to the airport in the morning by the first Kazakh to conquer Mt. Everest. Not too shabby of a send off!Leia mais
