First day in Kazakhstan - By Jeroen Bleker

September the 5 ^th started a bit later than regular STORM days: we woke up at 12AM to get some rest after the tiring border crossing. The drive to Taraz through the mountains was nice, enabling us to make some nice video material.

STORM WAVE's batteries made us proud: we drove the 300 kilometer on a single battery pack, which had 55% of its charge left at the end of the day. A new efficiency record for our touring motorcycle.

In Taraz a delegation from the University of Technology welcomed us. We were offered a place to sleep in the student dormitory and a new power outlet was created in the building. That is what I would call hospitality!
