.....still in Kazahkstan!

This place is vast. We may have underestimated the roads and
distances. For the last 2 days we have been stuck in the car, with our
faces covered, driving through dirt and sand, stopping only
periodically to shake dust out of our ears! Last night we found a city
in the middle of nowhwhere which had a shower, beds and beer. After 5
days of camping rough, this was a real lift and the horrors of the
bumpy sandy tracks were washed down the plughole along with all the
grime and dirt. Breakfast this morning was a first for me... Soured
cottage cheese laced with brown sugar. ( one large bowl of ), instant
coffee with whitener and a cheese sandwhich! This was all part of deal
negotiated the previous evening by Laurence, and quite reasonable at
just $16.
Today sees us back on crappy roads , averaging 25kmh, with tonights
intended destination just 713 km away!

Car still holding together well

Laurence and me......loving every second!
