Altai Republic, Russia
At the Mongolian border waiting to cross. We have 25 minutes in which to do it-will we do it or not!?! Probably a sleep in no man's land!
Semey, Kazakhstan
Hotel with HOT showers and a double bed! With some Danish guys ready to cross the Russian border tomorrow. Looking forward to Mongolia!
Astana, Kazakhstan
attacked by mosquitos in the car last night and spent a very cold night in the tent. Sat around the camp fire chatting into the small hours and found some very interesting plants growing wild. Now heading into the city for supplies.@
Kostanay Province, Kazakhstan
Much milder here so driving and sleeping easier. Had punctured tyre repaired for about £1.75. Bargain! Met two other teams yesterday so traveling in convoy to Astana today.
Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan
Arrived in need of a wash, water & petrol. Seems all the petrol here has run out! We both have sandal tan lines which may be just dirt!?!
Aqtöbe, Kazakhstan
Long drive to reach here-600km detour as roads were so bad. Hot during the day & night. Car running fine-sump guard has proved priceless!
, Kazakhstan
In the arse end of nowhere!!!
Atyrau, Kazakhstan
met an amazing kazakh family who are our hosts for this evening. Kazakhstan is a beautiful place with very friendly people.
Astrakhan, Russia
Stayed in car last night so we could cross the border in daylight. HOT! Insurance for Russia cost $100 & $20 bribe for a quick crossing!
