with visa in hand, excitement is in the air for my weekend trip to Kazakhstan! yes, for all you Sacha Baron Cohen fans out there, this is the land of Borat.
luckily i've got a friend who is a "planner" going with me, because i certainly haven't had time to think about what we would do once we get there.
we'll be spending most of our time in a city called Almaty, which is the largest city in Kazakhstan.
here is what is on the agenda so far:
Friday Sept 11
By the time we get through airport and drop off bags I figure it will be around 5pm
I suggest we head to Kok Tobe, we take an aerial tramway to the top of this mountain and there are many restaurants where we can have dinner, watch the sunset and enjoy our first night with Borat.
Saturday Sept 12
Day trip to Charyn Canyon. The second largest canyon after the Grand Canyon in USA.
Sunday Sept 13
Republic square
St Nicholas cathedral
Zenkov Cathedral
Presidential palace
End off the day with a nice relaxing trip to Arasan Baths for a steam and massage :)
Monday Sept 14
big almaty lake
lots of fun planned...more to report once we are on the ground in Almaty!
