From Astrakhan (Russia) to Uzbekistan
Border crossing no problem, took 2 hours including insurance and SIM card directly after border.
Road after border post to Atyrau: First 35 km very rough, then a lot of potholes and some corrugation. No problem on a bike, less fun with a 22 ton truck (It took us 8 hours).
Atyrau to Beyneu: 400 km of good tar
Filling stations in Beyneu only accept cash, no credit cards
Beyneu to border: Broken tar, bad
Border to Uzbekistan: No problem, 2 hours, insurance and SIM card available after border post
Kazakhstan border to Nukus: First 100 km broken tar, road then improves but still a lot of potholes, after 200 km no more potholes
