Kazakhstan's North

The first 300km were hilly and partly forested, and the landscape changed to steppe. It is impressive to have the same landscape for 700km. There was no variety even during the lunch break. The roads, infrastructure, villages, cities, etc. are in much better condition here compared to Russia. But we have already passed a stretch of 350km without a gas station. The people are all sociable and helpful. They also warned us well when we should refuel.
