Russia

We got up early to be early at the border, we had the feeling this was a good decision. The queue behind us got longer and longer. Overall we had around 3 hours to exit Russia and enter Kazakhstan. Most of the time was spent on the Russian side, mostly just waiting to enter the border. But again, people were all super friendly and patient with us.

Kazakhstan

Now the large steppe begins for us, we made around 300 km to Atyrau, the first larger city. Here we filled up on diesel, hopefully of good enough quality for Sprinty.

The evening was spent with our new friends with whom we did the transit, for this reason just a super short blog today.
