Iran – first impressions and the border
We are in Iran now since 15 days, and we are already so full of new experiences and stories, it is hard to summarize everything.

Yes, we made it – we are now really on our way! We have said goodbye to family and friends, and are now trying to get used to the life on the road. Soon, there will be more stories to tell – for the moment we have only some pics:
