Having to leave a comfortable hotel was more difficult than expected and it was 10am before we got away from the buffet breakfast. We'd been slightly embarrased by the cleanliness of our vehicles so had asked about the nearest car wash, and we headed across town to get them cleaned before going north and then east towards the Chinese border.
About 20km out of town, Simon was pleased for the first time to be stopped by the police, as when they asked for his passport, he realised he hadn't collected it from the hotel reception when he checked out. Rather than drive back into town, we phoned the hotel who despatched it with a taxi driver.
At the end of the day we are still about 180km short of the border, but that will give the children a chance to get here from Almaty tomorrow, and let us get to the border in the evening.
