what a day
Yesterday we drove to Astana. After 1 hour of driving the car starts to make funny noises. The spring attached to the rear wheels were broken. we removed the parts and continued driving with about 50 km. in karaghandy we found a small repair shop. They had a pair of similar parts but a bit too long. They trimmed it and replaced them. We were back on track. about 20 km before astana, a motor cyclist stopped us. He eas recently driving from astsna yhrough europe. Bhe invited us to stay the night in his place.
after 4 days of pain and misery...
we finally ended up today in the Nomads Palace in Kyzylorda. First through the road to hell from Atyrau to Aktobe then we headed for Alma Ata. Now i am really looking forward for a nice ice cold beer.
