As for the last bit, I dont really have good enough internet to start my normal large photo transfer so just 6 little photos from our drive from Isfahan to Ilam then south to Dezful. plus our travel buddy, Pina.

Well I got the call to go to work, so the trip will sadly be cut short, we will leave in 1 day to head for Armenia over a period of a week before storing the rig. But the adventure shall continue.

But to make the most of our time we still have I stripped the roof down as we were staying in Shiraz, and there is no point having the roof load for an in town hotel as all the sightseeing is a nightmare dealing with roof height issues.

Here is a couple photos from the road:

The cat out and about doing his thing: I will add since some people skitz out, we just stopped here for lunch, that is not our fire pit, and anyone who has traveled Iran can back up the fact that the locals basically refuse to reuse a firepit so the area ends up scattered with them sadly..



Waterfall on route:



And of course, mandatory car photo:

Then I got stuck:







Wagon fights a rock and wins.. which didnt really help us:


But we finally got out after 2 hours and I wasnt risking a stuck on the turn around:


Still some gear out from the issue with the neighbours:

FInally got a few blogs finished,

The first is the final leg of the Turkey section we did. which led me to Emli Valley.

The Big 300 < WrongTurn.com.au

After leaving Australia at 265k we finally ticked over the 300k mark in Turkey. The car has been running great although does require your standard maintenance that is performed before most trips as you would expect, as the roads we normally try to drive add a ton of wear and tear. We start […]

Then we started out for Ukraine, this trip was done end of july/August 2021. we start with getting on the ferry across to Odessa.

Wanna Go To Ukraine Next Week? < WrongTurn.com.au

Its thrusday night, we have not received a call for work… Chernobyl scrolls across the screen on the tv for shows to watch. “Hey wanna go check out Ukraine?” Anyways, we have now booked a ferry for the wagon and I am off and running to get all packed up. We have a relatively uneventful […]

We tour Odessa, enjoying Pork ribs and way to many drinks. Just how a trip should be.

We Actually Do Some Walking < WrongTurn.com.au

I’d say its not normal but I would be lying, we normally cover some serious ground in towns on foot, although not as bad when I took Sean on a 10km tiki tour that led to an apartment block across town instead of an old fort… oops. Leaving the hotel after alight breakfast we roll […]

Where are you now? Have you already left Ukraine? What route is planned next?

 

[Cruisn]

I am in Guinea, the car is in Armenia, should go back on break hopefully. we were in Ukraine for august 2021, I am just very lazy at doing blogs. From Armenia, I figure we will do eastern Asia.. see where that gets us. then I wuld love to drive back to south africa.

I'm not so surprised now... Now Odessa, unfortunately, is not the most peaceful place.

OK, if suddenly your route will pass through Russia, let me know!..

I think I could recommend some interesting places to visit and maybe we could even find some time to meet!..

Turkey sure does have some beautiful mountains! Thanks for sharing.

New blog as we leave Odessa and head Westish,

Rain Rain Go Away < WrongTurn.com.au

And show up tomorrow night in a major storm with sideways rain please.. But today we pack up and leave Odessa and we have no real destination in mind, we are just following the road west. We have a late start as we are feeling slightly hung over and still need to do a stock […]

We enjoy a lazy 250km drive through sunflowers before finding camp next to an abandoned facility.

[Cruisn]

We hit up some old areas from the past and then go to a campsite where we may have had a bit to much to drink.

Black Out < WrongTurn.com.au

Double day bonus blog After surviving the night near the old facility we head further west with our goal of arriving at a camp site called База отдыха but first we swing through a small town by chance as we see a heap of statues on the side of the road, this takes us about […]

Its time to visit a castle and see some crazy torture tools!!!

Torture Time < WrongTurn.com.au

Waking up early we are read to head to Ivano-Frankivsk but first we must stop at a castle for a look around, not more than 20kms from camp we pull into a small town called Khotyn where there is a full on castle/fort in an area with a stunning church next to a lake. But […]
