Update from Kazakhstan

So we're in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. And yes, a bit behind on the blog. Not always so easy to find good places to blog, particularly with USB ports to upload photos (because we know you're all about the photos).

But we thought we should update on a change of plan. We're cheating. We're going to fly from Almaty to Hong Kong. We decided that after the difficulties we had getting our Kazakh visa (Moscow post next up...) - both for what that foreboded with our Chinese visa and with the time it left us; and the difficulties that Joanna's belly was going to pose - both with the picking up of the pack and the fear of the Chinese food we'd be putting in it... we thought we'd better sack the China plan.

But on the plus side, as we're overnighting in Bangkok Ben will be able to complete that part of the drink challenge. And it gives us a bit more time to explore Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, and now: Macau.

tiz true we're all about the photo's (see I do read it too!) HAve to say think skipping out China is a good plan - there is a good chance M and me will head back out there so you can do your explore when bump can see it all too in a couple of years perhaps... Glad you're still steaming on... having a lovely time.... got to sort this skyp thing out for your NZ arrival. lots of love as ever, e and m
