In Astana modern city. Some unhappy with the pace we need to do so having night out here. Found TGIFridays and English pub, can we afford beer tho?
Camping in quite literally the middle of nowhere in Kaz with Bravo Two Mongolia and Race Monkeys. Day away from Astana I think. Vast empty country.
Crossed into Kaz last night at Troick. No problems or bribes but took 5 hours. Ram for dinner. Long drive today to make up mileage towards Astana.
I picked up Zach's and my passports this morning for the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Fancy title for one room in the basement occupied mainly by an expceptionally long queue. It's opposite the V&A, but I didn't go in... I nabbed a few maps of Kazakhstan though :) There's a somewhat disturbing lack of roads marked on it however... The next task is the Russian visas, which will require letters on invitation. This could be tricky (read: expensive). |
Mongol Rally BlogFive friends and I undertook the Mongol Rally in 2009 - a transcontinental drive some 9000 miles from London, UK, to Ulan Bataar, Mongolia. Here's the SMS update blog we kept en route. Categories
