In this Episode I drive from Erzurum to the Van sea. On this way I meet first time on my trip bad people. But that dont let me think bad about the others, I still think the most people in Turkey are very friendly and helpful.

After this I drived to Iran over the north border in Turkey. From there I drived to the lkiamaky wildlife Refugio and the broken mill farm, which is in the Refugio. The way truth the Refugio was very hard whith some bad and steep roads, but also very well people.

From the Refugio I made my way to the Caspian sea over Astara. I was really bewildered how much warmer and greener it was at the sea. Also that there was everywhere rice fields. At the sea I meet some nice guys from Täbris that had some selfmade alcohol with them and a Shisha.

In the Broken mill farm i have meet Amin that had invited me to his home in Karaj, so I made my way to him. He showed me Teheran and organicated a host for me in Teheran - Jaber.

From Teheran i drived to the Salt lake: Haj Aligholi. I could drive about 10 -15 km on the lake, but after that the salt was to wet and my tires sinked in it. SO i have had to drive back to the road and drive around the lake on the street to the nearly nationalparks, that dont was very interesting, but the way have bringed me to my next host Majid in Bodschnurd. His whole family was just making a film in there home. Majid showed me the city and some things around it.

After that I drived to Mashad, where I wanted to take my Turkmenistan visa. But the guy dont gived me the visa, whithout saying the reason for that. So I have had to fly directly to Usbekistan. for that I have had to go to Teheran. whith that helped me my next host Hammed and Ahad. First we booked a train to Teheran but the guy at the trainstation dont wanted let me in with my packed bike. So I have had to run to the next busstation and drive so fast as possible to Teheran to get my booked airplane.
