29th September. Kashan, Iran to Yazd, Iran
So i managed to checkout of the Negarestan. The first 40 or so miles of my journey were on a motorway. I then moved onto highway. Great roads. When you are travelling through desert you expect....
You don't expect 17C and rain. When I took the photo of the camels I was freezing. I had removed my jacket's thermal liner days ago and was wearing a short sleeve shirt. I approached the camels with caution, still wearing my crash helmet (you can't be carefull enough) I think the disguise meant that I was able to get quite close.
Very strange weather, at one point I changed into my "Decathlon Pac a Mac" I almost put on over boots. Seconds later the rain stopped and temperatures went up to 28C....things ended in a dust storm.
After some 240 miles I reached Yazd. A group of Greengrocers helped me locate a hotel I had read about... Hotel Dad!?
Slumming it again, Dad is 4*. It has underground parking, spot my bike?
I appologise that I am unable to offer any thoughfull insights into Iranian life, culture, history etc!!!
