We are in Kyrgyzstan. At last. Since I last wrote, we have spent a night in a Kyrgyz yurt on the banks of the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. We also went on a scenic, mountainous bus trip to the Pakistani border. We saw awe-inspiring mountains (some over 7,000 metres) and drunk tea in the middle of a field near Tajikistan with Chinese, Tajik and Pakistani guys. Words cannot do it jus... Read Full Entry

wow!!!
Hey there! Been meaning to type a comment every time for ages so felt I'd better do it before you were home! Am loving reading your travelblog from over the summer, looking at the photos (yes the guy does look like Zach Braff!) and of course Indie's insights. Sounds like you've been having the most amazing time, though well deserved after uni no doubt! Glad you're enjoying yourself and it's fab to read about places noone else I know has been! Laura

I agree with Rochy - your blogs are getting better and better and so are the photos. I particularly like the one of the intrepid travellers. You are having adventures, and seeing and experiencing things that will stay with you forever and that comes across in the blogs. Indie - I had never thought that way about people going to places like China to teach English - an interesting point of view.

Absolutely beautiful!
Fantastic blog as always. Never known anyone who has been anywhere in Russia besides St. Petersburg so reading about your adventures in Kyrgyzstan is extra exciting to me! And I like the pattern I've noticed of you guys attracting little kids whereever you go! Keep those blog entries coming! P.S. I like your beard!!

Brilliant and Exiting
Dear Indie and Ian Your postings and photographs are getting more and more interesting and exciting to read and see and sometimes I wish I was there spec ially when you have described the cuisine and shown phorographs of some of the things you have been tasting and eating. Even my colleagues at work find it very exciting and want to read all abour your experiences. We have been reading some of Indie's comments but would appreciate a bit more from him and see what he thinks of some of the experiences he is having. Keep up to it and have lots of fun ans explore as much as you can as you both have time on your hands for now. Keep well and take care. Bye for now. Looking forward to your new adventures.
