A very long ,hot and sticky ride today.not only our bodies were sticky ,but the black tar on the road becomes melted under the hot sun,you can hear the sticky sound and your bikes slowdown a little when you rode over it.It really brings out your best steering skill,not only to avoid potholes but also the sticky black tar. started 7.40am and 40 min late as planned,have lunch at cafe 1.00pm. The very best things for today ,is the tailwind all the way till we landed at this town 8 .00pm. We met 4 local men at a cafe ,who not only drawn up a map of the hotel but also gave us 1500T for pocket money to stay in the hotel. Tomorrow ,50km to the Russian border and hope to be in Astrakhan.
