anyone in Kazachstan?
Hi,

we are now in Astrakhan, Russia. Tomorrow we cross the Border to Kazach and heading south to the Aral Lake and Usbekistan.

Hope to go in Usbekistan on 1. of June, than following the Silkroad.

Lock for two KTM 640 on the Road!

cheers,

Heidi and Bernd

If you would please, report back about border crossing idiosyncrasies that you experience.

Thank you and have a safe journey,

I echo this request.
I'll cross just that border point (Astrakhan - Atyrau) on July 1st and I'll be glad to read your experience as concerns the timing it took, if there's some hassles to be warned of...

Thanks, guys, have a perfect trip!

A couple of weeks behind
I'm in Ulan Baatar at the moment, expect to be crossing into Kazakhstan from Bernaul by 17th JULY. Seems that I'm a couple of weeks behind your schedule. Bear it in mind, I'll be around the 'stans until end of Aug.

yeah, why not :-)

don't listen to the people when driving from kalbagau to semey. They recommend to go over ust-kamenogosk. But thats 300km, direct is 150km. You can do the 150km in 3 hours. With the bikes you can go through but for a car/jeep it'd take more time.

We will go through Russia not Ögli because of the petrol problems in Mongolia...
