Travellers Tip - I have been trying to use Google maps offline to get around. My iPhone is so old it can't really handle it. My iPhone is also too old for this next one too but the iPad does pretty well with it and I'd quite literally be lost without it. Citymaps2go. Offline maps with your smart device gps is really really helpful. Got the tip from a fellow traveller and I'm really grateful to him. It's been very helpful. Tbh, I wasn't even aware of offline smart maps until I started the journey but have switched onto them pretty quickly. Anyway, that's the science bit.
Had a very slow walk around today. Very nice. Went to another bazaar and again, most impressive!
Almaty has a sizeable ex-pat community it seems. Or maybe I just met them all in the pub last night. Another town with big oil connections but nothing like Baku which lived and breathed it. This city is a city, not a production plant with some houses on it.
Watched England v wallabies on the box tonight which was a lovely reminder of home.
Other than that, nothing to report today. Bout time I sat back and relaxed a bit.
Finally! Something worth photographing! Although what a naval piece is doing in the middle of Asia is anyone's guess.
