We took the marshrukta from Bishkek to Almaty and made it easily across the land border - to the amazement of the driver waiting on the Kazakhstan side, who told us he thought we'd be the last back on the bus. Our plan was to spend a couple of days in Almaty, see the city and get our Uzbekistan Visa, then head by overnight train to Turkistan - see …

There is a mogul run off to the left which is usually a lot quieter than the main run down, and this had a lovely deep layer of ...
