AROUND THE WORLD - Moscow to Bangkok

Stretching after 450km. Another 130km to go. Today is one of our longest riding days. The reward will be Almaty. endless roads In the van: Our third police control today. Mostly they are just interested in where we want to go, where we came from and what we are doing here. But the locals have a tougher time... Steve on detours Other bikers Who finds the knife on this picture? :-) That's a bike! Motorbikers meeting. A Kazakh couple on a Transalp and another Kazakh couple on an Ural bike. Hans and Heinz changing the bike?? Aah..getting closer The Camel experience...(The small point on the right hand side:-) Road impressions :-) no words. On our way to Balkash we visited a mass grave... Our Edelweiss dinner in a Georgian restaurant in Karaganda Our visit in the Karlag (Gulag) Dolinka. This Karlag had the size of former East Germany. How can mankind be like this? Gruesome, repression, torture, death...Germans, Russians, Koreans...hundred thousands of people died here. Through the backroads of Karaganda Villages on our way And then all of a sudden we are in the middle of heavy industry Basically nothing. ..Aha, Heinz hid the pants. :-) ...maybe something is missing? :-) Agriculture in big scale everywhere Today the road construction works are more exhilarating :-) Early in the morning we are on the way to Karaganda Just amazing... A one way sign on a huge square in the middle of Astana where we were alone.  Skyline of Astana Our office in Astana Our office in Astana Heute fahren wir von Moscow nach Bangkok
