A change of plans

Last night the message came-in from MANTOCO (organizer of the trip) saying he has to cancel the trip due to the German foreign office having issued a travel warning for IRAN. After an evening of e-mails racing to-and-fro it was decided that we will move forward the entry date into IRAN to the 26th Oct, enter the country for a short route to get around Syria and then exit into Irak and on to Jordan and then continue the trip the other way round into Saudia Arabia and ending in IRAN at the end of our journey in the hope that things will quieten down till next March.
So, now everyone is racing to Kapiköy on the Turkish border with 1 1/2 weeks cut off our arrival time which also means the end of our plans to slowly discover Bulgaria together.
