Into Iran

Just emphasising our origins

Look like Ruapehu and Ngrahoe? Wrong it's Ararat and its volcanic mate - looking back from inside iran

Iran - land of great open spaces

The Armenian's Black Church west of Tabriz

Cute angels - look what they do to babies

Turds - the best fuel available

Our send off from Erzurum - a snowfall to impede our departure

An imposing backdrop to our motel for the first night in Iran

Into iran and we transit below the watchful eye of teh great leaders

Looks sunny but it's pretty cold so the Icebreakers are firmly in place

The Scott College Bear does Mt Ararat - looking for his mate out of Noah's Ark

So who's exhausted having got to the border through the snow and agressive villages?

A 11th century mosque

A Kurd fortress to overlook our departure from their territory

Even the most modest hovels have satellite TV in Turkey

A Silk Road bridge just before the eastern edge of Turkey

My mates have nothing to do but play with their Imates - except the stubborn one who is trying to psyche out the snow

Getting heavier, roads are slushy
