BUTTERFLY LAND
... it’s not obvious where it is. I ask some locals on the street and he gives me a bottle of Kazakh Port from his boot and then escorts me to the hotel.

Kostanay-Chelyabinsk
... lunchtime. Not that we minded though, as we were very close to the front, in the car queue, our thermos flasks full and our picnic basket full of goodies. We're learning! After the official lunch break we were taken through to complete various documents, one important one being for Russian car insurance. That was a bit of a problem and we were wishing we had bought it at one of three booths on the Kazakh. side of the border. Seeing three in a row ...
