The biggest problem we faced is communicating with the local community here.They don't speak English & we don't speak Kazakhs or Russian ,chicken & duck talk. The middle or old aged especially .The younger generation might speak a little which they learned from school or college , but maybe due to lack of practise ,most probably only 10-20% of your message were understood . We arrived here yesterday,the bikes were not on the same train , I have one Merida bag and Heather has 4 ortliebs panniers together with our bikes .We had been trying hard to get the locals help to contact the train station in Atyrau or Aralsk , when will the bikes arrive? is it already on the way? Can they put some urgency on this , our visas is due to expire soon. You see,all these queries we would like to ask,but often you 'd not get the answer. The only consolation is that ,there will be a train arriving from Almaty tomorrow 8.10pm . How frustrating , you can only hope , hope , and hope .... I had gone this far and I haven't seen the best yet , I certainly don't want to end my b2p or b2l here...in ATYRAU!
