Finally in Russia! But I'm still a little flashback to our adventurous road movie ...
Our step Astana was short but amazing. Denotes the capital with the rest of the country.
The arrival in town was pretty painful. We have no less than three hours to find a place to recharge the car. What we just let time go to bed. It is early morning, before resuming the road we have traveled through the center of any new capital : the famous President Nazarbaev has forfeited the benefit Almaty to Astana in 1997, further north, closer to Russia! Since the city has modernized the rhythm of the fanciful ideas of the president.
Bayterek Monument. The golden ball rises to a height of 97m and contains the imprint of the president. Do not they say "have a stranglehold on ...?!
Then another surprise, and size ! The highway connecting the capital to Russia: this morning we drive on a beautiful highway 3 way . Not a hole. Not a rut. No dust ... still strong despite the wind that comes from Siberia.
But police! 100 kms on the clock and five controls already! It prepares the next. To answer
Piwi Piwi- ... the police often stop us from mere curiosity. Indeed it is visible from afar ... even from far away in the steppes! Usually they just ask us questions the traditional :
- "Atkouda?
- China!
- Kouda?
- France!
- aaaahhhh! "
From time to time they check the papers ... but do not understand much. Then they ask us to open the hood of this "Elektromobile. They do not understand more.
But yesterday they are a little more zealous! Probably because it is near the capital. We heard the word twice "shtraf" that immediately translates "fine" seen mine and severe police action unambiguously Fingers rub to say "money, money." Reason for offense: Xav has not turned their lights on, even day mandatory here. Or: Xav still forgot to turn on the headlights! Fortunately there is always a colleague to calm things down ... until when?
Go, Xav! Light the lights!
