Dear Karen,

Sorry for the delay in sending this. The trip that you organised was really fabulous, extremely interesting, and well worth the cost. 

Memorable Attractions: Experiencing the city of Kashgar and all it had to offer was probably the most memorable attraction for me, although that covers a number of things. To stand in a city that exhibits influences from both the rest of China as well as the ethnic and cultural elements of Central Asia left a deep impression. Seeing the remnants of the old wall of China was also very memorable, although I had thought that more of it would still be evident. The centuries have taken their toll, but nevertheless I was glad to have seen it. I also was pleased that I asked you to include both the Yumenguan and Yangguan passes, as both of them are worth visiting.

Tour Guide: The most outstanding tour guide was Raziye. She was lovely, and very concerned for my welfare. But the other guides were also good, it is just that Raziye was particularly outstanding.

The hotels and meals were generally up to standard. Both Raziye and Ablimit took me to local restaurants that served Uighur food. They were good experiences.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your company to friends and colleagues. Thank you for all the excellent work you did in putting it together, and customising it just for me.

As I mentioned, I was glad to include the Yumenguan and Yangguan passes, as they were both very interesting.

One item on the itinerary was missed: Ablimit said it was too far to go to the City of Rocks as it would have added about four hours to the day trip to Lake Karakul. It was a pity, as I am sure I would have found it interesting.

Thank you again for everything Darrell
