hello, we are in IRAN at the moment. we have been to Tabriz, Tehran and now Etafan. all have been amazing cities, and it shows that Iran is actually a really quality country away from politics. In iran so far, me and mike have been stopped and searched by the police, helped pull a car out of a ditch, had lunch with two Iranian women, managed to fit 6 of us in a small taxi in Tehran, eaten each meal for around 2 pounds and played volleyball with local soldiers. its a random country, quite surreal in some places.but everyone loves it.

in turkey, after isatanbul we went all over the place really, i couldnt give you names straight up, but one place that stands out would be Gorome, a small town which is surrounded by basically sand rock buildings and amazing dry landscape, we rented scooters out for the day and cruised around the area, taking them off road in some places.

the weather is gettin very hot now, and it is sunny each day. we are stayin in four star hotels here in iran, however we have to pay for each meal.there is no alcohol in iran as it is strictly forbidden, somne people on the trip are struggling...

after bam, we have to do a 20hour bus ride into pakistan as the area is to dangerous, apparently anyone over 14 has a Ak47.. and `140 people were killed near where we were going yesterday, so all looks rosey ahead.
