Long day yesterday. Cardiff, Amsterdam and then Atyrau. Once again, the way through immigration was different! Many times I have entered the country and every time it's a different process. This time I waited for hours as we were processed through a temporary building with grumpy immigration officers. Hot, insect ridden yet somewhat reassuring . . . One thing is certain with Kaz, nothing is certain!
Short taxi trip to hotel and bed.
Up this morning and time to wake slowly. I fly down to Tengiz today but not until 2.00 PM. So I have breakfast in bed. What a treat. Great coffee and juice. The last good meal I will get for a week. Tengiz is a camp where the food is dire.
