We’ve got our tickets now for Olgii and off wandering around Almaty today – the most modern and expensive city so far. Jammed streets full of 4x4s and modern shopping centres…no wonder the tourism board got a bit pissed about the Borat thing!
We’re still waiting on confirmation about our tour – as always they never seem to answer your direct questions or read your email fully, and assume you are always there to pick up their emails.
If this goes quiet for a bit we’ll be wandering around the wild west of Mongolia.

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Almaty, Kazakhstan
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010We arrived in Almaty today and in a guesthouse on the outskirts. It’s a different world here almost with modern roads, cars, traffic jams and big shopping centres. Although we’re close to some massive mountains just 40 mins walk away I think we’ll be visiting the city tomorrow.
Our Mongolian flight tickets have been issued and we should get them in our hands in the next couple of hours.
We hope to finalise a booking for a trekking tour for 6 days in Western Mongolia starting on Sunday. There’s a link to the tour at Blue Wolf Travel.
