Iran

Finished with dirt road at last, 250 miles of it then a good road into Mashed. stopped just west of town. Changed water in radiator, very rusty looking tightened up manifold bolts. Lee and Pat travelling in a 1959 Peugeot and not a bit of trouble with it. Kids hanging around every time we stop at post offices going mad for English stamps. Travelled across dry barren land and semi desert, inside the cars everything’s caked with dust. The 5 of us travelling together is quite a good arrangement, they are good company too. Its early now we’ve all eaten and everyone’s gone to bed. Its quite peaceful in LD and my bed is really great I sleep as well as I did at home, trying not to think too much about home, but more about what I will do in the near future.
