Hi Werner,
at the moment I am nearby Alanya at the coast. It is still to early for me to go to Iran. I must be ýn Teheran at the 4th of July, because a friend of mine is coming to bring me a new tire. What a pitty!! Cause Ý dont wanna stay any longer in Turkey. When do you want to cross the border? I thought the right time for me will be first or second of July. Would be great if we can do together! When wýll you be in Dogoubayazit? Please, send to my email adress above. Lots of greetings
Helmut

Ok Canoe

No prob,let me know when you're a little closer.Sorry but i've no garage but its pretty safe to chain your bike outside and i can show you a decent bikeshop/garage should you need owt doing on your bike.Just been to the Hurricane music festival last weekend in Germany,top doo.And in two weeks,just incase you're in the area,there's Rock Werchter(4days) in Belgium,with another top line-up.Also the same weekend there's Parkpop in The Hague.Sunday only,a free music festival which annually attracts big crowds.The first time i went four years ago there were more than 450,000 attending.Awesome.Ok,see ya.

Hi guys, i am in cappadokia right know. Anyboby around this area at the moment? Will leave eastwards in about 2 or 3 days. Latest at the first of july in Dogoubayazit.
Greetings, Helmut

I am in Teheran at the moment. Have an extension of 10 days now and will leave to Esfahan tomorrow morning. Anyone around?

i have gone through the process of extension of the transit visa in iran - not fun -
hey helmut, I made it to Oman and work already, hard to get spare parts for my bike, even here,
take care
PS: if you have tea at the main bridge in esfahan it won't take longer than five minutes to find iranian people, that speak english. you will probably meet a weired guy that will tell you weired stories about him working for the police, spies and male/female relationships in iran, say hello from me, if you see him

Say hi from me too, he's apparently an ex cop turned poet. I gave him a book of short stories by Rabindranath Tagore. Small world.
