alarm went off at 6am. Took minibus to our main hotel for breakfast and left at our correct time. Amazing that we could get going when in England we would never have lifted our heads from the pillow. Another long drive, but in daylight today so we saw a little of Russia- big,big farming country over huge plains with the longest belts of treeds we've ever seen, or couldn't see because they went so far. Border control into Kazakhstan only took about 3 hours which was a bit of a relief, but the hotel in Semey was a bit of a surprise, although we shouldn't be surprised any more. We were on the 2nd floor but there was no 2 in the lift. Up, down, up, down, found a cleaner who sent us up, another who sent us down and showed us the stairs! Rachel's room enormous and bizarre, Suzy's palatial with velvet armchairs and a coffee table. Went out for dinner, but falling asleep in our soup.
