What a nightmare Iran has turned out to be! In fact we had difficulties just leaving turkey. The sfaff at the entry border 3 weeks ago had accidently stamped my passport to take the truck out 3 days previous to our actual exit date, causing all sorts of hassel. I was led from office to office by a "helpful" official and eentually given a 166YTL fine, about 80 Euros. It turned out the "official" was in actual face just a hawker, and when I refused to pay him for his frankly useless services he spat in my face. Lovely.
Then there was getting into Iran: customs, registration, passports, visas.... it took 6 hours. There was no way we were going to make it to Tabriz as planned, so I took a dirt road into the desert and we camped for the night. In the morning however the weight of the truck partially collapsed oart of the track and we had to dig our way out.
