20th July
After a 220 km ride today I finally crossed the border from Iran to Turkey – so I am back in Europe now (in footballing terms in any case!)
Iran has been friendly and beautiful. Slightly crazy traffic you have to watch out for but otherwise a lovely cycling country.
Over the next few days I will be riding towards Ankara and on Wednesday will fly home for 3 weeks for my sisters wedding – then back to Turkey again to finally cycle home.
Proper Update about Iran coming soon.
1st July 2007
Now in Iran – great to be here – great place!
In the city of Mashhad in the east. Heading for the Caspian Sea this week (where apparently it rains – I have really been missing rain!).
More to follow soon.
