Iran: Filling in the Gaps

While we published some blog posts during our time in Iran, we also wrote quite a few posts that included material which the authorities may have taken offence to. After a couple of encounters with the secret police early in our trip, we decided not to post these blogs whilst in the country.

Over the last week or so we have backdated and published all the “missing” posts, listed below in chronological order.||

We hope you enjoy reading about our adventures, from exploring desert cities and the ancient ruins of Persepolis, to sleeping in highway underpasses, encountering camels and surviving the extreme Iranian hospitality.

    Hello cyclists!!!

    I liked your stories in this unknow country. I discovered Iran and it seem to be a nice place!
    I hope you will enjoy your time in Dubaï, Have a good rest!
    We finished our cycling in Vietnam at HCMV 3 days ago after 31 days of cycling from north to south (2760km). Now we enjoy (we have a cycling break too) and we will celebrate Christmas here with all my familly.
    We really liked to cycle here. At the beggining it seem quite a jungle but we quick realized that it's a organized jungle. We felt really safe to cycle here (much more then in Turkey). Here they are used to see cyclists on the road and we always have space for us on the side of the road.
    Take care,
    frendly,
    Catherine and Roger

  2. Hey guys,
    wow, you raced through Vietnam! Well done. As a strange coincidence, we actually spent Christmas in Ho Chi Minh City 7 years ago! This year we will be in Mumbai.
    Maybe see you in Oz…
