Hi!
There is still someone coming after me? I wouldnt have believed it! I am in Esfahan at the moment, had some problems on the bike in Theran and after that an accident here in Esfahan, so iran is taking its time. But it seems you are quite fast, maybe you catch up, would be nice to meet. I am planning to take two more weeks for Iran, then about four Pakistan.
Keep in touch!
See you
