Iran: Merivan - Kermanshah
oboehm, 23:24h
Continued from: Kandovan - Merivan
Actually we wanted to go to the water lilies on the lake but we had to go by motor boats and you need a permit from the authorities (because of Environment) - so no water lilies for today. Yeah, not really, the inhabitants showed us a place where we could go by foot.
The first part of the trip to Kermanshah we used a road which never has seen a modern car like our little bus. It was more a bigger path as a road through the wild Kurdistan - also a smuggler area or, as our guide said, the duty-free area. The mountains are rugged but the scenery is wonderful. The men wears wide trousers and the women colorful clothes. We need 4 till 5 hour for this first part where the inhabitants needs only 2 (the fly over the rocks with their cars). At the end of this road our driver shouts suddenly "asphalt" when he saw the normal road - he was so happy to be on a normal road again.
Late in the night we arrived Kermanshah. The hotel there has internet access and was the first opportunity for me to come in contact with the rest of the world. But not all addresses were accessible, e.g. Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and also blogspot.com I can't access.
