At first it seemed like it would be the easiest border yet was a nice Man who spoke English was telling us what to do and where to go and generally being very useful. However there was the usual drama of the carnet - they couldn't understand why we're had left kazahkstan in August yet where still there etc etc. But after some persuading they stamped the thing and we were off to deal with the less friendly Russians. Thankfully there was an obsessive compulsive nurse with a secret love of french who enabled us to communicate with the customs guys. With the time difference between borders we didn't loose too much time and we were in our first Russian city, saratov, by 7pm.
