Sorry, but there was no gprs in kz so was unable to keep the blog updated. The car died in kz. After all the problems in poland the car finally gave up. We have had a mixed time here, met lots scottish oil blokes that gave us a place to stay, got us drunk and had a great night partying in Aktobe. We left the next day and then the car died when we tried to botch it. We got a lift from two teams we had joined up with as the roads are totally mental in kz to the next city where we caught the train to Moscow. We slept in what can only be said a prison cell that cost 4 quid a night for both of us until the train left, which was 2 days later. The train is very full and we sleep in big open dorms. Its very strange, but there is no first or second class on this train. We have just passed Kazakh border control and now waiting for the Russian control to board the train. The train to Moscow cost £35 each and we will arrive on Monday afternoon to enjoy a MacDonalds in Red Square. After the food in Kazakhstan its the first time in my life that i can say im looking forward to American junk food! Lol. After moscow we get a train to Riga.
Hi guys,
Sorry to hear you didn't make it all the way to Mongolia :-(. Hope you are still having a good time though!!!
Enjoy your Maccy D's.
