Dream of Driving Through Iran Has Most Likely Burst

Our dream of driving through Iran has most likely burst.

An article at Tourenfahrer.de shows that since 23 July last year no motorcycles with a motor volume bigger than 250 cm3 may be imported - not even for transit. The law apparently has existed since 2005 but only last year the government decided to implement it

We will probably switch to the ferry from Baku (Azerbaijan) to Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan), but it is supposed to be a disaster: there is neither a timetable, nor does it travel directly to the destination port for sure, but for some unknown reason can simply bob a few days in the open waters in front of Turkmenbashi.

In Turkmenistan, however, the transit visa has to be ordered for a specific entry day and is only valuable for 5 days. A tourist visa, which requires a guide, would be an alternative.

So we have new conditions ... I will inform you about the decision asap.
