Iran / Pakistan / India anyone out there ?
Well we have been travelling for 4 months now and seen only a few Portugese bikers and some Israeli ones. Is there anyone else in Iran at the moment ( we are in Tehran heading for Esfahan next week, Shiraz after that then the border ). Would be great to meet up with anyone else. Let us know where you are and when.

Dear Maarten
First, sorry for the late reply but we thought we had !!!
Today is the 29th and we are in Yazd at the moment - probably leaving on the 1st of October heading out of Iran via Kerman and Bam. We have met a German biker and are travelling with him also.
Are you coming this way soon ? We plan to hit the Iran/Pakistan border together - safety in numbers and all that.

Hi!
I am in Turkey currently, one day to Ankara, planning to cross Iran in November, too. Because I dont have my Iranian visa yet and the political situation, the idea of going around Iran doesnt sound too bad. Do you have any information considering this? Let me know!
Thanks!
CU!?

Don't know exactly, had some Visa Problems (Iran) and have to return to Ankara to pick it up next week, visiting Kappadokia during this time, and after that head for Iran, so I will be there roughly the first week of November, but it should be no problem slowing down a little, as meeting for Iran does not sound all too bad..
Keep in touch!
