Anyone passing through Turkey/Dogubayazit soon?

Hi,

I forgot my camera battery charger in a guesthouse in Dogubayazit in Turkey. I was wondering if anyone is going to pass through Dogubayazit soon, so they can pick it up for me in that guesthouse. (I can't find a charger like this in Iran/Central Asia and desperately need it).

The guesthouse owner knows of the problem & is waiting for instructions from my side.
Options would be to either bring the charger (if we find time to meet on the road), or pick it up & send it to me via an Express service (in which case I could make a payment via paypal for example).

My route is: Iran (12 days from now) - Turkmenistan (5 days) - Uzbekistan (3 weeks)

Thanks a lot!
Bjoern

More info pls

Hello Bjoern,
Please inform me where did you stay in Dogubeyazit (name of the place, name of the owner or contact person, telephone, e-mail, adress, whatever you find). I will try to contact them and will make them send device to me.

When we see, we can get back the device properley, I can send it to preferred destination/adress.

Cheers,

Samy

Hi Samy,

Thanks for your help with this. Are you actually travelling through Turkey/Iran, or do you live in Turkey?

Thing is: I have found a reasonable replacement today (here in Tehran), so there is no real urgency any more (though I would like to have it back at some point). Also, I still don't have a reliable forwarding address in the Stans - which makes posting difficult.

One of my mates is coming through Dogubayazit in a month's time and we'll probably meet en route in Pakistan or India. (I'm doing the Stans, he's going straight to Pakistan/India). So that would be one (late) way of getting the charger/battery back at some point.

Thanks a lot!
Bjorn

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
