29th September 2013 Yazd Iran to Bam, Iran
Departed the luxury of Hotel Dad for the deserts of southern
Iran. Iran’s single carriageway roads are very good. They carve their way
through progressively through wilder and wilder terrain.
I arrived in Bam and guessed my way to within a mile of the guest house where I has stayed last year, Akhbar Guest House 500,000IR. Shortly after arriving an Australian girl walked in, she had travelled through India, Nepal, Pakistan and was to end her travels in Iran. She commented that she hadn’t seen any other motorcycles during her travels…… which inevitably signalled the arrival of another motorcycle. Thomas, from Stutgart was riding a 20 year old BMW 1000 gs. I had bumped into him momentarily in Erzurum, when I had asked him if he needed any help. So three travellers chatted, drank tea and then went for meal in Dasht de Behesht (beauty of the desert). We had a lovely evening and Thomas and I agreed to travel on together to cross the Pakistan border. We agreed a plan to rise early and avoid the desert heat and hopefully the police.
