Kazakhstan
We pushed on through russia, stayed in a few small towns. Yesterday we knew we were going to the border so we decided to wack a fair few miles on the clock and do an all nighter. When approaching the town at the border we though it would be a good idea to fuel up. It was 11 pm and the garages were manned by women in kiosks in pitch black darkness. No hope of finding one we asked a local and then the rozzers pulled up and gave us an escort to fuel station. We gave the cops a tip for helping us out. We reached the border at 12 and what a pain… We had to fill out forms that were in russian.. Turns out another team passed through that day and we used their forms as a template… Scarey moment when they searched the car and nearly found my hidden cash. We then had to cross the kaz border control… One guy sat us in his office and spoke crap, we were confused… They then said we had to wait a few hours to mess us around. It was quiet at 3am and were stuck there waiting. We made friends with a guard and he helped fill our forms for us. He also offered us ciggies… Yes he offered us one not the otherway round. In the end They let us through and when we was buying insurance, dan was holding the insurance ladies cat saying that she had a nice pussy, we giggled so much. So we then drove on in to the nearest town looking for atm for cash. We then pushed on to aqtobe feeling real tired. We are in some worn hotel dying for sleep and the loud music outside which was annoying. Yestrday we were stopped 6 times in russia, no fines as we always smiled and asked if they liked chelsea, worked a treat. Today we were stopped twice by kaz guards.. No fines. Ukraine guards were never interested in us. Kaz roads are terrible, beating the suspenion on the van.
