Now that we have had this few days on the Hurtigruten, we will be releasing the latest photo galleries over this week.  Today we have Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<p>Since we were robbed while we were in Kazakhstan, not a whole lot of pictures were taken.  From the radioactive wastelands in the North to the Kyrgyz border we only spent a total of about a week in Kazakhstan. The people were not all that friendly to us and after we were robbed we decided it was time to move on, but there are some funny photos and some cool mountains to take a look at.  Up next is Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey and more&#8230;by the end of the week we will be caught up all the way through here in Norway!!!
