Day 14 Astrakhan to Atyrau (28th May)

After a boring drive through the desert, we booked into an expensive hotel in the belief that they would help us, only to discover that the money had gone through to the Russians from Jennifer’s banking app. We didn’t like the Marriot Renaissance hotel; the staff were surly and the breakfast was good but nothing like as good as the Cosmos at Groznyi.
