Attraverso il deserto più caldo al mondo (addio Iran)
Tomorrow we cross into Afghanistan. I am worried. 5 days earlier. Here we are leaving the beautiful Kashan.
Even though Isfahan is just 100 kilometers away, today is a big day because I want to
bring Julia to see the Fin garden. Il giardino di Fin, il più antico giardino persiano risalente al 1500 era un’oasi dove trovare ristoro e riposo lungo le antiche vie della seta Then a mountain village called Abyaneh. It is really
unique because is red colored because of the iron that is in the terrain in the soil. I
just made 10,000 kilometers and 8 kilometer. It’s very nice this road
that is leading us to Abyaneh the Zagros mountains. There is a toll to pay each or
total. No one 1.500.000 rial. Welcome to Abyaneh And after we will eventually reach
Isfahan. hello where do you come from? from Italia. you? Isfahan? yes Here was the heart
of Isfahan in 16-17th century congregational mosque as a symbol of religion. Ali Qapu palace
authority administrative place and the portal gate bazar here symbol of the economy. You know
that the inventor of the dome is iranian. Yeah. We are in Loftollah Mosque here in Isfahan. So the Safavid dynasty is a Turkish Kurdish tribes. So because of that we have so many palaces,
monuments, shrine and so many places like a bridges that have got the Turkish name like Ali Kapu. Ali
means high. Kapu in Turkish means gate. They made tablet and after that they just make some special places empty and just kind
of this sharpen tools make this border. the small pieces in the right place. Like this. This is the seven color or poly
polychrome technique. And after just drying, they just glaze, bake and glaze and
prepare. It’s completely different from the puzzle side. You can
see the background is like this. So in the top part in this pandreil you
can see Sagittarius the zodiac sign in that in ancient time the Iran when they just
wanted to build some places that important they added some zodiac sign in the portal like
this they just wanted to guarantee their wealth and the bright upcoming days Being here in Persepolis is exciting. in this place, as evidence of the greatness of the Persian Empire, the Achaemenid Empire 2,400 years ago having just passed through the Gate of Nations, as well as nobles, dignitaries and foreign delegates did to meet the king it’s something that gives you the creeps what you see here is what remains, it is what in 1900 After extensive excavations, it was found covered by a layer of soil, sand and ash. Persepolis was built to impress anyone who visited here, and it still enchants visitors today. is a Zorostrian Tower shade. I’m getting delirious. I finished
my water. It’s 44°. I think I’m good. I don’t know if I am. Me, too. I’m good.
But I would love to have some fresh uh drink. I’ve been looking for over an hour for a
place to stop. There’s There was nothing. [Music] We arrived in Yazd and the people are so nice.
I’m going to miss Iran so much. People are struggling in many ways. Even though
the reality is tough in this country, people here are so kind with us foreign
travelers. These are Baluchi people. Mhm. Nice riding in this alley. This place feels like Tunisia or
Morocco. This alleys, the color, the heat. I have goosebumps for the heat. We are getting
close to the border with Afghanistan. Today is a long ride, more than 600 kilometers. It’s
hot between 44-45 degree between two desert actually. the Kavir desert and the Lut desert. Before
Julia opened her visor and she understood how is traveling with this helmet. I love it. But
it’s all open. It’s an adventure. Luckily, we found this gas station. We fill up our tank.
We will have another stop in 100 in 1 hour and 45 minutes uh to the next petrol station because
you’re in the middle of nowhere. You just go through from a village to another village from a
petrol station to another petrol station. Julia, how are you coping with the heat? I love it.
You love it? Well, we’re only 200 km in, so we cannot complain yet. We still have 400 kilometers to
go. So ask me again in an hour and a half. We’re just riding through one of the hottest desert
in the world. It’s all about the attitude. Yes, we go for it. It’s nice and warm. And our fuel
tanks are full. So that’s all that matters. Yeah. Let’s go 46 degree, let’s take a detour to this beautiful salt lake. [Music] with 49 degree. We were supposed to
refuel tank there, but they have no the benzin card. You know that in Iran,
everyone has got a card for the benzin. And of course for us foreigner, usually
the guy in the petrol station give us, but here they don’t have. So now we are going
to the next petrol station. My phone overheating again. Here in the middle of the desert, it’s
better to refill benzin every time you can. In the middle of nowhere. Let’s stop
to take a picture of the palms. But there is an entire village, abandoned
village to see how many surprises this Iran has for us. We’re still very happy
and energetic. I don’t know how. We didn’t drink any energy drinks.
We are an adrenaline hotel. Yes. After a long day and hours and a lot
of problem with mechanic and police, we finally changed tires. Tomorrow we cross into Afghanistan and I really don’t know what to expect. I am preoccupied. The level of uncertaintity about traveling Afghanistan is high. (to be continued..)

Non pensavo ci fossero dei posti così belli in certe zone del mondo!😮😮😮
Afghanistan ti posso assicurare che è un altra situazione sia stradale che di sicurezza
Non scherzare con i numerosissimi posti di blocco dei talebani
Brava Francesca…
Il mondo è un libro, e quelli che non viaggiano leggono solo la copertina. Ed è verissimo.
Seguo ❤
Lovely to see Iran again – was there for 5 weeks 2016.. unfortunately demonised in the West, but lovely friendly people. Stunningly beautiful country and culture and architecture. Ironically the most ‘Western’ country in the Middle East, look beyond the surface…
Una macchina da guerra, complimenti per il contenuto.
