Iran. Oh Iran, this is where the adventure begins! In fact, even before crossing the border, the adventure begins! So we meet up with three other cars in our convoy for Iran, having had two drop out at the last minute due to various issues. The border to exit Turkey is reasonably straight forward, drivers […]

Cappadocia. Wow. I don’t even know where to start! We ended up spending 4 days here, and stayed in three different hotels. A really nice one thanks to Greg and Pryia from Team Never Look Yak, a strange one thanks to booking.com and a brand new one thanks to driving around. The last one, the […]
