Wow, we are finally here!!! After some intense weeks of packing, sorting, storing and farewells we have finally made it to Bishkek!
The journey went very well. Felix and Rosie are expressing lots of enjoyment of it all and for Felix, Jim and I there is a lot of familiarity about being back in a very hot climate. Rosie has spent the time in the flat in few clothes and dipping in a cold bath, finding it all rather hot! We did get to swim at the pool at the hotel we stayed at last night which was a lovely bonus. We enjoyed pancakes and honey for breakfast.
We are now gradually unpacking in our flat. We are very happy with it and the location. We explored a little earlier with the help of a friend and one thing I have really enjoyed is the gardens, parks and flower beds being irrigated by glacial mountain water which run down small channels along the side of the pavement; what a concept!
Felix has asked "why didn't we come sooner?".
It is hard to believe in the current heat that it is really going to be snowing in a few months, that change will be quite something to experience.
