In this episode I have to cover 617 kilometers from Aralsk to Aktobe, in Kazakhstan. This is about twice the distance I normally ride in one day, but I had to cover a huge stretch of dry, semi-desert in Kazakhstan. The only entertainment on the road are the camels that are staring into the distance on the side of the road. Buckle up, this is going to be a very, very long day! The most impressive architectural building in Kazakhstan, it reminded me of the beautiful medrassas in Uzbekistan, which were also built by Timur.
