Hi M'jos,
We are in Omsk now and we're going to apply for the Kazakh visas on monday. Our plan is to go more or less via the 'classic' Stans route: Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey.
We just heard that the Iran visa application is on hold for a while. It seems there are many rejections right now so the agency (Stantours) advised us to wait for awhile. So we won't know for sure if the above route is possible until we are already in the Stans. If necesaary we will have to skip Turkmenistan and Iran and go back to Kazakhstan from Uzbekistan and try to get a transit visa there for Russia. Then we will have to hurry back through Russia in a few days. But that is the backup plan, we are still really hoping we can get Iran visas.
Bye,
Onno
