STOP PRESS: INTO EUROPE!

Stop Press. On Sunday May 22nd 2011, I rode across the bridge over the Ural river in Atyrau and into Europe, and on Monday May 30th I reached the Kazakhstan/Russia border. It has been difficult to update my blog from Kazakhstan due to restrictions on Blogger and limited internet access, but I will be attempting to do so over the next couple of weeks, so watch this space!
