Tourist day in Almaty. Leisurely breakfast then followed the Lonely Planet walking tour of the city, some pictures from which you can see below. It is a fairly cosmopolitan city where you barely see a Lada - the cars are just about all German or Japanese, but I did spot a couple of Range Rovers.
Here they all seem to be nearly new, wheras for the last few days we have been seeing an increasing number of older German cars, often still bearing the sticker from their country of origin (D, NL, CH etc).
Update on the children - they have unpacked from the Bug what they can reasonably carry and caught a train from Aqtobe to Almaty which takes about 48 hours. They are hoping to hire a car in China, then buy whatever their funds permit on arrival in Laos.
