While waiting for the ferry to depart for Baku, I meet an American (Charlie) who’s travelling around the world by bicycle. We take in ALL of the sights of Aktau within a few hours, museum, WWII memorial (eternal flame), MIG jet (just like Shymkent), mosque and a swim in the Caspian Sea (much cleaner than the Baku side since there’s no oil refining happening close to the coast).
Aktau WWII memorial (eternal flame)
MIG Jet
Mosque in Aktau.
There’s a park containing some of the weirdest statues I’ve ever seen.
