That's it! The frontier is gone! Not without difficulty It was very complicated to get out of China. So complicated that if we had wanted to return.
Waiting papers: two days!
Waiting for permission to present to the customs: 2h.
Waiting for the end of the break for Chinese customs: 1:30 before the gates of the border post. Fortunately the atmosphere is nice and Kazakhs waiting to clear customs are excited about our trip.
So there is no road ... And here again ... It was much simpler the Kazakh side. The time to complete all the paperwork into Russian thanks to the kindness and patience of a customs officer. But no control of the car!
- Atkuda?
- France!
- Patricia Kass Ah! Belmondo! ... Pierre Richard! Alain Delon! ... These are our worthy representatives of France in Kazakhstan.
We finally released after the Kazakh side of the now traditional photo shoot.
first laps in Kazakhstan. Here it is not the desert that you remember and that is reassuring. is the mountain pastures and early steppes. It travels on a road we would have thought worse companions with donkeys, cows and horses. Rock atmosphere. It grows Koktal until we have thought bigger. Small village. At first sight no less than 380v hotel again.
I stop to ask where they could stay. A lady invited us to sleep with her. When she saw the car she says she has no court. She asks her neighbor. He has a court but is being renovated, we can not re-enter the car. He asks another neighbor .... And that in him we will stay tonight in a small house. Three generations under one roof and two nationalities. Hospitality is very warm .'s Son, Jaldeus, 31 , who received us. Immediately he invites us to return to the kitchen is already seated the rest of the family: his parents, his wife, two children and two nephews Almaty who are here on vacation. The kids are amazed! They burst out laughing when they saw us. They even choke when eating.
must resume its seriousness for the official photo! We share a plate of ravioli with potatoes sprinkled with tea with milk curd. The discussion is somewhat limited and it is sometimes frustrating. But everyone pitches in gestures, drawings, you pass a mime right time. Jaldeus who has just returned from work that remains for a moment at the table. In the court awaits a vast, that of his new home. Soon everyone will have his room! It's been five months he worked there. For now there are only foundations. It will continue after dark. We want to help but he refused categorically. His father is happy to show us the garden that feeds the whole family. It's like with my grandfather!
