Two days in Tehran

Cycling into the metropolitan area of Tehran with roughly 70 kilometers felt like a kamikaze mission. The express highway was fast with much tailwind but the road has up to 7 lanes with cars overtaking from the left and from the right. You would sometimes even have cars or motorbikes coming into your direction. The city is so chaotic and it has been undoubtedly the most stressful cycling experience so far. Maxi and I were both relieved upon our arrival at our guest house.
Tehran is just a huge city with many districts to explore. We did not see much in two days but we met our Iranian friends Mahyar and Mehran again. Again, we had a great time with much laughter.
It was then also time to say goodbye to Maximiliano which was not easy. He has slightly different travel plans as he wants to spend more time in Iran and may cycle through Afghanistan afterwards. All the best my friend, take care and see you soon.Læs mere
