After having a great time with the Russian customs officers we decided to camp at a lake. Big mistake, we wew attacked by and countless army of blood sucking moscitos. now we on our way to Krasnojarsk.
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.
