tanamir strait

after all the sightseeing and sitting around of the last weeks, i wanted to go smell some fresh air again and managed to convine johnnes to go on a little field trip, which turned out to be a great idea. we took a snapp-taxi out of the city, told him to stop on the highway in the middle of nowhere and started walking towards the mountains. after just 5 minutes of walking, a police car already rolled up on us, but after a bit of talking, we were given permission to proceed as long as we didn't go too far off track.

under the blazing sun, we started ascending and walked for the rest of day, before finally stopping on top of the huge mesa we had found ourselves on. the views were absolutely amazing, johannes' camera was running hot.

we had some dinner while watching the sun set and found two good wind protected spots to sleep in. because of low humidity and good weather, we even decided against the tent, so that we could sleep right under the stars. thought i heard some wolves at night, but didn't see any trace the next morning when catching the sunrise.

we packed up, hiked back down to the highway, and hitched a ride back to isfahan. good times.Les mer
