Ferry Kazakhstan - Iran?

quand j etais dans le coin y en avait pas. il y a kaz-azerbaijan, ou turkmenistan-azerbaijan le visa azeri ne st pas dur a avoir, celui pour le turkmenistan bon courrage et prepare les pepettes, c est pas donne... une fois dans le caucase tu peux passer facile en iran, ou poursuivre vers la turquie.

Bonjour Pour azerbaidjan -Kazakhstan est-ce que tu connais les prix les rotations les adresses etc etc ? Ca m'interresse

merci, j avais trouve le kazak-azerbaidjan mais le visa azeri me paraissait un peu difficile a avoir (d apres le site de leur ambassade en chine) mais bon ca reste le plan de secours, je pense toujours pouvoir faire le visa russe a HK, pour l instant pb avec ma CB pour payer sur visatorussia mais je vais arranger ca je crois. par contre j ai verifier a l ambassade pas de souci particulier pour demander le visa, le message d alerte a la con sur visatorussia avec la soit-disant loi de oct 2007 s adresse aux pays hors UE je crois... ej me suis bien fais avoir !

le visa azeri je l avais fait en georgie en 3 jours facilement, mais evidemment ca peut varier d une ambassade a l autre. si tu n arrives pas a aller en russie, franchemnment passer seulement le kaz n est aps une tres bonne idee a mon humble avis: de tous les pays d asie centrale ce st le plus cher, le plus moderne et surtout celui ou il y a le moins a voir, a part si tu fais une enquete sur les steppes s etendant sur des milliers de kms! si la russie foire, tu peux depuis la chine: si tu es presse, passer au pakistan via la superbe kkh, et de la aller en iran, soit direct, soit via l afghanistan; ou alors, si tu as plus de temps, tu peux aller au kirghizstan depuis kashgar, la route est magfnifique et longe les pamirs, ensuite tu vas en ouzbekistan voir les magnifiques mosquees de samarcande et boukhara et finalement de la vas au kaz.

az kaz c etait 50 dollars il ya quelques annees amis en 2008 je sais aps. le ferry est irregulier, y a pas vraiment d horaires. tiens, ce st en anglais(ca date d il y a 3 ou 4 ans), mais il ya tout ce dont tu as besoin, et cam evite de le reecrire

Regarding the ferry from Azerbaijan, it is definitely irregular, but irregular in the sense that it should come every few days (if not once a week) but no one will really know until the day it gets there. I would suggest checking often (like twice a day) since in my case, I went in the morning and they said it wasn't coming, and then by chance I tried again in the afternoon, and they told me it was leaving in an hour. If you really want to get more info on it, try hanging out at the William Shakespeare pub or one of the English/Irish bars around Fountain Square - most of the Western oil workers drink there, and they can hook you up with people at the shipping companies who can give you 24 hours advance notice of when the ferry is coming. The ferry ticket office location: from the west side of the Parliament house, walk north along the main street 1 km until you cross the large bridge over the railroad tracks (just in case you're not sure, the sea is roughly east). Once you cross the bridge, take a hard right like you are going to walk under the bridge, but take the first left down a non-descript road. You should cross some railroad tracks and pass by the Parom Restaurant on your left until you get to a guard roadblock. Ask the guys there where the ticket office is (it's through a non-labeled white metal door diagonally across the street from the Lenin mosaic).

I was told specifically to pay $60, but the ticket explicitly said $50. Then the little ladies thanked me. The ferry is supposed to take 18 hours, but in my case it took 2 days because we had to anchor for 30 hours in the Bay of Aktau while an oil tanker did... something. I'm not sure. What I am sure of is that the ferry ran out of food and by the final hours the 20 or so passengers were subsisting off eggs and vodka. So BRING EXTRA FOOD just in case. They will take your passport so don't fight it. The rooms lock from within, and if you're nice to the ladies at the ticket office, you'll be alone.
