22 hours of relaxed bus travel!

La daabacay: 17.03.2017

We arrived at the bus station in Yerevan at 10 o'clock sharp. A modern bus with TV, WiFi (both not working, of course) and extra-wide seats (which were available) was waiting for us. The first 10 hours, including a half-hour break, flew by. We drove through mountains (the highest pass was Mount Kadsjaran at 2535 meters), valleys, old Soviet villages, and deep cliffs. If you missed the braking point here, that was it, the dilapidated rusty guardrails wouldn't have helped. The roads in Armenia are in a terrible condition, gravel, potholes, and pavement regularly alternated. But our bus drivers still made a solid impression. A driver change while driving and various overtaking maneuvers in dense fog or curves were no problem at all.

Just before the border (8 pm), the anticipation grew. We quickly passed the Armenian border, but it took a bit longer on the Iranian side. After various questions about marital status and luggage control, the stamp was finally in our passport, and we were in Iran! After a short proof photo, we continued at around 10 pm. At 12 pm, we had our first kebab at an Iranian rest stop and slept until 7 am on well-built highways. Woken up by honking and traffic just before Tehran, we continued for another hour to the bus station and then took the metro to the hotel.

Wow... what a journey, it was worth the money! Once again, it has been shown that the journey itself is the destination.

After a short rest, we will continue exploring the city.
