Almaty Sunday 25/4

Returned to Almaty Saturday lunchtime. Spent the rest of the day
walking around, buying souvenirs and being tourists. In the evenin we
found an American Grill and Bar and also Soho Almaty Club where
international expats and locals mix.

Sunday we got up, had breakfast and visited the Central State Museum
where the gold man is displayed.

They also had a great museum shop where they sold carpets! We went
crazy! Kristine bought two Kazakh rugs, Tove found an amazing rug from
Turkmenistan, Knut opted for a great one from Iran and my choice fell
on a small Kazakh rug!!

After that we went looking for a cafe. We were in luck, found a
fantastic Italian coffee shop with lovely wine, coffee and sandwiches.

At 5pm we're getting on the train to travel 12 hrs to the west to
visit a national park where we're promised to see lots of wild tulips!!

Until next time... ;-)
