Kazakh steppe - one of most beautiful places in world - American biker
ASTANA. July 18. KAZINFORM /Berik Bekmurzayev/ Guest from the United States Doug Votke took part in the 5th International Bike Festival 'Balkhash-2011'. He told about an impression left by Kazakhstan to a Kazinform correspondent.
'Kazakhstan is a very big country. You can go all day long and see nothing but a steppe. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world,' he said. Travelling in Kazakhstan for him is a part of his longest bike ride from Berlin to Magadan.
'I have crossed all Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and now I'm here - in Kazakhstan. I also have to cover the distance to Magadan in Russia,' the biker said.
Doug has travelled around the world for many years already. Last year, it was Iraq that he crossed on his bike. He has been to Central and Southern America, Canada and many countries of Eurasia.
