Hello all!

in the South of Iran it was a very special event to drive into the desert ‘Lut’ (the hottest desert on planet earth). We had (brand new) good friends with us, forming a beautiful ‘travel family’ for many weeks, starting with the trip through Lut.

Hello all!

Visiting Iran was one more highlight of our trip… How will it really be over there, in Persia?

Very funny is that there is a great way to get in contact with Iranians: you just have to have an issue with your truck :-0 When you are parking at the side of the road, you can bet that it will not take longer than 5 minutes that an Iranian shows up to offer help and to make sure that things get fixed. It worked every time for us (we once had a flat tire, a malfunctioning sensor and a clogged diesel filter…). All issues solved by help of Iranian people who just stopped by, …and helped. And when the job at the truck is done you can be sure that you will be invited for dinner at the home of the person that helped you. …and don’t even think that it could be yourself to offer an invitation for a dinner or so (as a thank you, since they helped you). The Iranians really like to bring visitors (especially Westerners) to their home. Having guests from Europe is exiting for them and surely also a kind of exotic event in their family life. And be sure that every Iranian tells you sooner or later that: ‘please understand that we are the people and not the regime’. It always was of big relevance for them that we took this message with us: ‘the Iranian people are great, the regime is not…’.

So now enjoy some pictures of the north of Iran.

Hello all!

it is more than one year ago when we drove through Armenia. The plan was ‘to take it easy’ since the temperatures in summer can be very hot even in the mountain regions of Armenia. So, we mostly enjoyed the beautiful scenery around us. And as it became too warm, we checked in at ‘3G camping’ in Goght, close to Yerevan. Arrived, we enjoyed the refreshing pool and the relaxing environment.
