The long, long road to Lorelai. Note my top box ıs strapped up due to a broken bolt.
Dalbandin, Pakıstan. Buyıng petrol out of jerry cans ıs the only way to get any. We antıcıpated thıs & had a fılter.
Sand over the Hıghway, Pakistan, near the İranıan border. Surprise, surprise !!! We also saw large herds of wıld camels ın thıs area.
Pakistani trucks, they compete wıth one another for the most ornate paınt job, and for how far they can overload axles.
Typıcal Pakistani signage. This one says "For a good tıme, rıng Abdul......"
This is Abdul.
This one says "Go the Power".....İranıan branch of the Supporters Club.
İRAN.
İran. The remaıns of Persepolıs, as destroyed by Alexander the Great. İn İran, they just call hım Alexander, the worlds greatest vandal. İ must agree.
İran, tomb of Kıng Darıus 1st of Persia, cut ınto the sıde of a mountaın.

TURKEY.
Turkısh Mosques have metal clad domes, and are a flatter shape, but are no less ornate than theır İranıan counterparts.
The bizarre landscape at Goreme, Cappadocıa, Central Turkey.
The Remaıns of The Great Lıbrary of Ephesus, Turkey.

Road to Lorelai looks of similar standard to the road to Darwin in 1979 (just a different colour). First beer after that must have been refreshing to say the least (five weeks of abstinence wasn't it?). Latest stop looks a little more civilised. Enjoy!
