Our neverending story in Oral




The Italians we met in Atyrau suggest us not to drive on the Kazaki way. “It is too dangerous because the streets are horrible!” they warn us. Therefore we run to the Russian Consulat in Oral ( the only one in Kazakistan together with the one in Astena, the capital that Paola really wanted to visit…. but, seeing how things are going, forget about it!) to check whether we can extend our Russian Visa from tomorrow (August 4th) to August 10th and drive all along the Russian way towards Mongolia.
After 5 hours at the Consulat, running around the town like crazy with a taxi driver (with us in the photo) who was more crazy then us and helped us to make passport pictures and take all documents (that of course we forgot at the hotel!), we finally obtain the Visa extension.
To celebrate the success, Polly and Otta offer themselves a massage. But surprise surprise… it was not what they expected: instead of a relaxing treatment they found a sort of Doctor who crick crocked their back. AAAAAIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is it for today.
