Kazakhstan

Today was a quite uneventful day, which is not bad at all. These days can be really good, you just drive, eat, sit outside and drink a beer and everything feels alright. Today was like this for me.

We did the dirt road to the salt lakes, which is a total of 180km, but roughly 35km are paved of it. The road was mixed, sometimes really good, sometimes horrible. We did a 17km/h average, which tells everything.

It wasn’t possible for us to reach the salt lake, it’s still muddy from the rain and we didn’t want to risk being stuck, so we have now a spot with lake view, which is also quite nice.
