To day we finished the second day on the last leg in Iran from Bender Abbas to the border of Pakistan proxy 400km.
The way goes at good roads over a desert landscape we have seen a lot of date palms and advanced agriculture in plastic tents, but dry it is , very few rivers show a little water.
To day s journey took us up a couple of 2000m up an hour slow going up and then over a endless flatland ,just now we had luck to get water in our tanks from a water tower.
We also found the way to a feeling station for liquid gas and had a bottle felled for les than a dollar and here ended the story of the little gas bottle from Spain, you may remember all the trouble we had to get gas for our kitchen, and managed to get a 2kg bottle. Well later we got a bigger one. Coming to Denmark I wanted to leave it at Brita's house but decided better not to, and that was good because in Norway we passed a place to get it feeled.And so on it followed us all the way, but now we are well off with bottles, and yesterday evening it got empty, so I resolved just to leave it where we stood, in a calm street in a village, and suddenly somebody hammered on the door two young men and three Women in black dresses , they invited us to dinner and to come in to sleep in their house, I told them how tiered we were, but when they took of they convinced me to take inn the Spanish gas bottle. It was not this time I got rid of it. Taking off this morning I let it there, but another woman stopped us, and back came the bottle again. But finally at the filling station , when I tried to have them field it, and they could tell me that this bottle was not possible, I got rid of it as a present to one of the men there, but taking off he wanted to give it back, but then we run away.
