First night in Kazakstan was another unofficial camp spot, this time in the Sharyn Canyon. I'd climbed up a cliff which turned out to be a lot steeper than it looked to get this photo and a mobile phone signal!

Next day we made it to Almaty, the former capital, and civilization!

It's a big place, and for some reason the war memorial seems to be the place for photos if you're getting married?

We got the cable car up for a view of the city.

Odd to find the Beatles at the top???

A quality rip off, wonder where they got this idea?

Now we're waiting to find out the extent of my bikes problems. Fingers crossed......
