I leave Aralsk early, to miss the worst of the head wind and the heat of the sun. I am heading for Kazali about 110kms away. I feel if I get most of the ride completed by lunch time that I should miss the worst of the weather that comes in the afternoon. The morning is perfect. Windless, smooth and flat. Too my right is where the sea used to be, now just dunes. At lunch I stop in a lay by with a Belorussian lorry driver and his wife. They offer me biscuits and green gunpowder tea, which is delicious!
I make Kazali by late afternoon. The town has few hotels, but plenty of home stays. I luckily find a very pleasant one with 3 boys who are very interested in my cycling and want to show me their bikes! The evening is pleasant, I sleep well!
My hosts!
