Friday July 23rd

another day of shopping, we were chased by a car, it seemed that the young man just wanted to say hello, but as we drove off he followed us until we parked outside a shop.....his freinds, who had shown us the way to Astana, had sent him a photo of us on his mobile phone, he showed it to us absolutely delighted to have spotted us, then more photos so that he could send them a photo back.....we had a couple of beers with Ian, a motorcyclist we met at the hotel, he told us of a couple more buildings worth a visit....
