New Lands

I cycled from Kerman. I was scared. I'd heard nothing positive about the road after Kerman. Luckily as usual the negative hot air is hyped out of proportion.

I met a great guy in Mahan who gave me a huge insight into the Iranian and Islamic way. He spoke good English and we chatted for about 4 hours.

Persia and other tales

Iran has at times been a challenge with regards to cycling alone. I have dealt with this mostly by recording myself talking on a voice recorder, singing, shouting, listening to the Mighty Boosh and occasionally weeping.

Path, direction and large floating triangles of rock

Just a quick one this. I've pedalled down into the south of Iran. The weather has been pretty hot during the middle of the day so I'm on the road by 6 to make the most of the cool clear mornings.
