Kazakhstan (no relation to Kazaa) is next on our Central Asia tour.

Another view of the airport at Bishkek, with rolling mountains at the left, as we take off.

This body of water is the huge Lake Balqash; it's 600km wide.

This is what I call a sunset!

Taxing back to Astana airport. It looks like it's going to rain soon.
