Saying goodbye is the hardest. As I write this post, I am preparing to leave Novosibirsk for Bishkek in a short while - last member of the Altai team to leave! Even BE staff, Adam and Kate, have flown off this morning.
There is so much to think and write about. But this will have to come later.
But it is good to read the good news on Biosphere Expeditions blog that a snow leopard has been filmed on their camera trap in Mongolia! It is only when you have seen first hand how hard it is to set up and retrieve camera traps - that you would appreciate the preciousness of such footage.
Some Coldplay music for the onward journey to Kyrgyzstan.
A Russian girl from Krasnoyarsk, also staying at Hostel Zokol, has just given me a calendar with St Nicholas (patron saint for travelling) for good luck. I don't even know her name. But this little gesture of hers is heartwarming. So ready or not, it is onward to Bishkek for me.
До свидания Russia and Altai - for now!
