Astana, Kazakhstan (day 15)

Day 15 - January 21, 2023

Is it still considered breakfast if you eat it at 2pm? After a late start to the day, catching up on some much needed sleep, I made my way next door to Presidential Park. It is quite a large park which boarders the Ishim River. The Presidential Palace is just on the opposite side of the frozen river. Many of the landmark buildings here in Astana are colored to match the flag of Kazakhstan, blue (turquoise) and yellow.

There are always workers chipping away at the snow and ice in the parks and sidewalks around the city.

Lots of kids and parents out here today (it's a Saturday) sledding down this icy hill and having a blast :)
