Show original
Motorbike trip from Catalonia to Iran passing through Italy, Albania, Greece, Turkey and Iran.

06-10-2022 - I wake up around quarter past 7 but I fall asleep until 8. We are sleeping in the carpeted dining room with some mattresses and blankets. Ramtin also gets up and soon Hamid also comes to the living room, prepares tea and sets the table with two types of bread, a type of curd, margarine and two types of jams, very excellent .
At the end, Hamid, who often touches the cross he wears around his neck (I don't know how many times he's told me he's a Christian) gives me a Giorgio Armani pendant, lol, I thank him and hang it on me, then hem brought a shirt and I thank him. Ramtin says that Hamid has been living alone for 21 years and that Armin (the driver) is his son.
I leave with Ratim who shows me his garden where the dogs are and a small house with fruit trees, chickens, ...
There is another uncle of yours, he gave me a bag with tangerines but I can't take them all and I take 4.
I put petrol on and continue, it goes on its own and I don't know how long it will be. After a while I need to shit, I park in the corner and hide behind a tree.
A motorbike stops, it's a grandpa, we have a short chat and it leaves, after a while another motorbike stops again and the same thing.
I stop for lunch in a pine forest a little away from the highway and make some noodles. At the edges of the motorway they are very dirty but if you go a little further it is nice and clean.
I cross the Natural Park of Golestan, there are mountains and forests again and on the road there are danger signs of wild boars, bears and leopards.
I wanted to camp here but I continue a little further, I take a turnoff that leads to a small town where I can camp, I can't find the place, it's quite mountainous and in the end I take a cutrillu apartment for 3,500,000 even though I asked for 5,000,000 but the seeing that in the shower there was only the tube without the artichoke and there are no beds but the whole floor is carpeted I had to haggle. I will later realize that there is no toilet.
Sopo a can that is a mixture of legumes and for dessert pomegranates and tangerines.
