Visa Issues

For some reason Turkmenistan decided they didn't want us to visit them and refused to give us our visa's. We don't know why but it might be something to do with Swine Flu. So, we had to come up with a plan B!

We are now going to have to catch a ferry across the Caspian Sea from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan. This is fine apart from two slight issues! The 1st is that the ferry has no schedule and so we may have to wait a week to get on it. That however, will be the least of our worries as once we get to Azerbaijan we may not even be allowed in because right hand drive cars are illegal....apparently you can bribe your way in though so fingers crossed they should let us through. We don't really have a back up plan either as there are not very many options!

Getting the visa's for Azerbaijan was fairly straight forward and we now have all the ones we need. Its been expensive and stressful to get them all in time but we have managed it in the end with plenty of time to spare!
