We met a wonderful bunch of people in Almaty. Friends of friends… The hospitality we received from them was however, like we had been friends forever! They took us too this amazing restaurant, about a half hours drive out of Almaty. I don’t remember the name but if someone recognises it will they please do me a favour and fill in the blanks??? It was a cosy log cabin, lined with warm fur skins. Glass all around to you could admire the white wonderland that had developed overnight! This was October, we had landed in Almaty for a Trap shooting Championship. It was a warm and beautiful 28 Degrees C. The next morning we woke up to this!!

And then we were treated to this 🙂

The Open  air BBQ where they cooked us piping hot kebabs and Breads. The aroma of the food wafting through the air… 

so we naturally went in…

And what a treat! Kebabs of every kind. We were in kebab heaven. Probably the best kebab meal I have ever eaten…

Manti, a local specialty (dumpling)

All Washed down with this very interesting Beer 😉

And then, ONLY then, were we warm enough to step out 🙂
