Almaty again...
Siamo tornati ad Almaty dopo una notte sulle panchine dell'aeroporto di Astana. Distrutti ma contenti per gli incontri con delle belle persone. Ora ci aspettano due giorni di attesa per il mitico treno che ci portera' in Cina, ad Urumqi. Non abbiamo molte forze e fa di nuovo caldo, ma ci spingiamo fin sulla collina di Kok-Tobe, da cui c'e' l' …
Episode 10
... have for their lunch on the really hot days.
Balkhash sits on the shore of a very large lake. We drove into the town centre and found the ‘’esplanade’. L was not impressed. We parked in the parking lot if one could call it that, from there a few metre of grass separated us from the gravel and sand and then the water. The grass and much of the ‘beach’ was a carpet of broken glass amongst considerable other ...
