the stanleys !
 
hi phil.

in answer to 'is it worth?' - YES
we really liked Kyrgyzstan, fabulous.
Kazak - big ! with the capital of Almaty - expensive!
Uzbek - absolute must if you want the 'silk route' classic cities.
Turkmen - mmmmm interesting, i would say well worth experience but my advice would be do enter under a 'transit visa' and NOT book a 'tour'.

check my website and the download pages for some details. : www.travel.uklinux.net

loi's ???? changes regular, my advice here would be cotact David at StanTours, he's the 'man on the ground' he will be best to advise and help i think.

'ferry' on the caspian - this really is an optimistic description ! there's a regular boat and they take vehicles but you can't really call it a ferry!!!!! we crossed from Azerbaijan to Turkmenistan on one of the 'daily' boats for the '15' hour crossing. Of course we ACTUALLY waited 2 days for the 'daily' ferry and it took 36 hours to make the '15' hour crossing !!!
Not a complaint, in fact fabulous experience !

Brilliant, just what I'm looking for. If it starts sinking the coastguard helicopter will only be a few minutes away!!

I'll review the Stans situation when I get nearer. For some reason I'm going the opposite way to you which makes getting visas a bit more difficult. Can't remember why I'm doing that. They say old people forget, but I can't remember being forgetful.

Thanks again Phil

RoRo to USA from Russia
 
Is there any more up to date information on getting to USA or Canada with a car from Vladivostok or do you still have to ship to either South Korea or Japan.
I have been with a vehicle to Russia many times so know what the Russian formality's of getting a car into and out of the country
