Pēc trīs dienu klusēšanas izrādās, ka ceļotāji ir sekmīgi izbraukuši cauri stepei-tuksnesim pie Arāla jūras. Vienīgais ziņotais ievainojums - vienam no bobikiem nomainīta motora galvas blīve.
Tuksnesī esot nogaršots kamieļmātes piens. Visi esot nopeldējušies Arāla un Kaspijas jūrās.
Pēdējā ziņotā atrašanās vieta - Kizilorda, kas ir tuvu pie Baikonūras.
Top ziņa: Pēterim esot nogriezti mati, jo garās cirtas nepatīkot vietējiem musulmaņiem.
Vēl nav īsti skaidrs cik traki, taču viens no bobjiem ir iedzīvojies jaunās tehniskās ķibelēs. Domājams, ka nav tik traki, savādāk tas tiktu plašāk noziņots.
Ceļotāji šobrīd atrodoties ap Atiarau un braucot kā pa dienu tā pa nakti - nav brīnums, ka tehnika lūzt.
Ceļotāji iebraukuši Kazahstānā.
Izlēmuši nebraukt pa taisno uz Novosibirsku, bet braukt uz Atiarau pusi - Arāla jūru.
Iztērēti 4 lati “netrafarētajai ceļu policijai”, tika vests viens stopotājs.

Welcome to this multiblog about one adventure that is planned for next summer. The idea is to go for around 3-week trip to the brotherly neighboring republics, in particular two - Russia and Kazakhstan. Event cleverly disguises behind the name “Total Solar eclipse observation in Novosibirsk”, but it completely unintentionally includes some sightseeing in the Aral Sea, the Kazakh steppes and civilization sites and similar activities on Russian territory. Also it looks like watermelon season may already be underway.
Today there were people gathered together who are quite interested on the event, and apart from all kinds of silly talks held that:
The next plan of action till the spring is to deal mainly with the thinking deep thoughts and industrial intelligence. In the spring there would be procurement work carried out. But the bread can be started to dry now. Around 20+ people seem interested in the activities. Such number could be optimum. There is information that some other Latvian expedition could be in Novosibirsk.
This blog-notes will be written also by other people. It is very possible that you can see the list of them on the left side [not anymore - see section About us instead]. I was offered the opinion to write this all here in English. On the one hand, it would have no guilt - we even could insert Google Adsense ads and the expedition would earn a couple of watermelons and fermented milk of a camel. However I think it should be written in Latvian. And also some entries could be inserted during the expedition - there should be the Internet connection somewhere. From reliable sources it is known to be found in a couple of smaller towns of Kazakhstan.
By the way, does anyone know whether it is possible to accredit as a blogger in Baikonur?
