Mongol Rally [7]: Kazakhstan again


After the awesomeness of Kyrgyzstan we came back to Kazakhstan to drive up to Russia. By that point we were racing with the time a bit cause my Russian visa was about to expire in few days and we had about 1200km to drive before we even got there (and additional 900 through there) and no idea about what the roads are going to be like. Because of that we had to split out convoy as our friends stopped for a day to get their car fixed but we hoped to reconnect in Mongolia.

1. By that point our car was signed by heaps of people we met along the way and everywhere we stopped someone wanted to add something. Here in Almaty.

2. Still lots of nothing around

3. Kazakhstan

4. Kazakhstan

5. Rainbow

6. On average we were probably camping every second night

7. This night wasn't best as I struggled with food posioning

8. Plus we had a crazy sand storm around 4am that lasted for about 2 hours and completely blew away 2 tents (after some people moved to sleep in cars)

9. Kazakhstan

10. Road side 'restaurant'

11. Looks like this car didn't finish the 2009 rally

12. 8pm, about 100km to Semey, we can do it right? Man, that was the longest 100km ever as the road turned to be shitter than you can imagine!
