It wasn't so bad. We had the Craic with the girls who ran the cafe outside , had a few beers, played some cards and listened to the locals sing and play guitar.

When we went to get our bus, it was like a mob. I don't think queues exist here. All that was missing was some old farm hand and his chickens. You'd have to keep an eye out for the young small ones with elbows like steel!

You stood around a long narrow pond reasonably packed with trout and dropped your hook in, waiting for a fish to come along and hook itself on. See the picture attached. It was pretty tasty once it had been cooked for us though!

We spent the rest of the week looking at some of the sights around Almaty, skiing/snowboarding, and eating at some nice restaurants (including ...
