I had to be up bright and early today, because I have a long drive through Iran. The trip should take around ten hours, which is a little troublesome, as I only have about 11 and a half hours light and the Foreign Office suggest not arriving anywhere after dark. I’m not sure that this is a true reflection of the country, but I am concerned all the same.
I fill up the camper with fuel and provisions on my way south of Tehran and get on Highway 7. It winds south out of the city and toward what I can only describe as desert. There are mountain ranges to my right for the first few hours and then it opens out to flatter terrain.
I never thought a desert could be so, well, empty.
It’s a long drive, and by the time I approach Kerman the sun is nearing the horizon and I need to get to my hotel. I have a suitable supply of Lady Grey tea to sooth the aches. Tea fixes everything.
 Oh, I do hope there's a good breakfast in the morning. |
 Reception was a welcome sight. |
After breakfast I will check my next step and give the camper a tidy-up.
