Headed off from shimkent bright but not all that early. Still can't find the melons?
Got to Turkistan where we stopped to visit this awesome mausoleums guarded by a dangerous plantation of cabbage.
Driving on to kyzylorda we decided to take a detour to Sauran, a place which the continually inaccurate lonely planet guide recommended. (we have now learnt our lesson and are burning the book). Instead of the delightful hill and village we were supposed to see, we found only a lady walking in a red suit and what can only be described as an obstacle course for a dirt bike!
So we got back on the highway, and I (Lauren) saw in the road something which looked like a nice bit of harmless drift wood. However after driving over it and the right step wing flying off into the distance, I realised I was wrong.
Dan attempted to fetch the ominous bit of wood but discovered it was infact some indestructable nuclear war head with the weight about the same as a baby elephant.
We got the step back and seeing that we couldn't reattach it seecurely, we wrapped it up lovingly like a baby and put it in the boot.
We are now on the way to kyzylorda, (Dan will b driving the rest of the way I expect!)
Feex out
