Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan - 8233 miles from London
We are in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. We will put a Kyrg entry up shortly, but in the meantime below are some pictures from Almaty, Kazakhstan where we spent three and a half weeks whilst we were sorting out logistical and mechanical issues and waiting for our Kyrg visas to start.
Our Kazakh phone numbers no longer work, but we have new Kyrg SIM cards. Our numbers are:
Peter: 00 996 502 453957
Tom: 00 996 502 453987
Kids on my bike outside the hostel, Almaty
Our old tires. From left to right - my back tire (now being carried as a spare); Peter's back tire (notice how much more Peter's tire has worn - big lad and heavy bike!); Peter's front tire which was repaired in Perm; my front tire; the front tire Peter had sent from BMW Moscow to Perm (now being carried as a spare); a crap back tire that we bought second-hand in Almaty which looked ok but turned out to be 12 years old and screamed on the road because the rubber was so tight and dry.
Boris, the mechanic we watched work meticulously on our bikes for two days. Here he is balancing one of the wheels.
The bikes in Boris's workshop having the tires changed.
Having a drink with David Berkhof of Stantours who has been so helpful with the planning of this trip.
Fernando, a Spanish biker who has ridden from London but decided to live in Almaty for six months (see Nomad Podcast - link on right side of this page in the travel blogs section) and Reana.
Soviet housing block, Almaty
Public swimming pool.
Man washing a puppy in a bucket at the first motorbike garage that we went to.
Sunset over Almaty
