Beautiful Kyrgyzstan

Just a quick update as internet access is very difficult to get when you are up in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan!  We had a fairly eventful trip through Kazakhstan and were all relieved to arrive into Kyrgyzstan.  A quick stop in Bishkek and then it was time to head up into the mountains to see what this beautiful country is really all about.  Everyone has been having a fantastic time trekking, horse riding or just chilling with a book and a glass of wine and admiring the incredible scenery, and everyone is definitely in love with Kyrgyzstan (Mike has even given it an 11 out of 10!).  We are heading back into the hills again today heading for Lake Song Kol, so we will give you the full run down on Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and no-mans-land when we cross the border into China next weekend!
