After having stayed in a nice hotel, with triple times prices for foreigners and the loveliest receptionist – or is it just me being on the road for 52 days? – we continued our journey to Saraghs border checkpoint to be able to cross into Iran.
Everything went smooth on Turkmenistan side and there was a friendly ‘Welcome to Iran’ on the other side but unfortunately the ‘system’ was down in Iran so our passport check took three hours resulting in a delay for the car custom clearance and a closed gate for the night… ‘Tomorrow another day’ we thought and we checked in at a hotel nearby.
We enjoyed a very nice ‘Non Alcoholic Carbonated Malt Beverage’ (our two weeks of non-alcohol body cleansing has begun!) and we are very proud, intrigued and fascinated that we made it to Iran and are absorbing every single moment of it.

Slightly in love with the receptionist :-)
We left our car behind at the customs clearance for the night…
