Almaty - Up in the Mountains

July 4th, 2010

Today we spent the day high really high up in the mountains and it was absolutely amazing. 1st we took the bus than we took a taxi up in the mountains and then we took the ski lift and went even higher. It was really cold up in the mountains and we had no choice and rent some coats to go up the ski lift. We were dieing of heat at the bottom and than we froze up in the mountains. They gave us brown army coats that everyone was staring and laughing at us and someone even asked us if they can take a picture with us. We stayed at the top and took some pictures of the beautiful scenery and then Sveta asked us if we wanted to walk down. We asked her, how long will it take and she responded about 40 minutes. Ya right 40 minutes, it took over 2 hours and plus we had to go down over 800 stairs. But it was all worth it and it helped us release some negative stress. She told us if she’d say the truth we would not have agreed and she was definitely right!!!! It was a little tricky walking down hill because it was steep and the road was full of little rocks and it had also rained a little which made it even more slippery. After we walked down over 2 hours and went down all those stairs our legs felt like jello and we were so tired.
After visiting the mountains Sveta took us to the Bazaar but we were too tired to look around so we went home and freshened up and went back to the Italian restaurant near our apartment for supper. Do you think we miss Italian food??
