Day 107: Khoy & Qareh Ziya'-eddin - Maku (83km) - Distance travelled so far 5,971km "The Re-Union"
With Paul still MIA, Brian and Mike headed onwards to the Border towns of Maku and Bazargan. With both parties knowing exactly where they were heading, it was just a matter of what time they would meet up today.....
Early Morning Meeting
Steep ascents out of the village....weather very changeable today...
An Iranian graveyard
Rock n' Roll
Never too good when you see this little road sign....Tyre Chains = hills and snow....Aghhhhh!!!
"I've got me a brand new combine-harvester"
Miami Vice(esque) this one....
Brians dashboard - Check out those cold hands...
Mike sporting his new Poncho....(which also doubles up as a tent!!)
Loving this rain lark
Pickin up speed.....
and there is the odd downhill too....Yeah!!!!!!
An exquisite example of river erosion.....Don't rush for those Geography books all at once!!!
With a four-fold mixture of corrosion (or abrasion), attrition, solution and of course least we forget hydraulic action, the river eroded this over thousands of years...
Nearing the border...... A Turkish Political statement perhaps??
Reaching Maku (25km from the broder)..Time to call it a night
Tough day for all. Paul completed close on 120km, so we decided to turn in for the night. Turkey beckons our names in the morning, so we might as well be well rested for it......
