A route less travelled. View Iran 2009 in a larger map
For people across oceans and others whom I have not yet got the chance to talk to I can mention that
I am back in Sweden again. The initial plan was to travel with train through eastern Europe and be home
around august 5. But, in Forest Gump style, I woke up one morning in Istanbul and felt that I had
enough of traveling, so I stopped. I went to an internet cafe and booked a flight ticket home.
I guess I lost some of the lust and motivation of traveling after leaving Iran. It was always my main
destination and it felt a bit like mission completed after that. The thought of rushing through Eastern
Europe, trying to get a perception of another 3 countries in 10 days wasn’t appealing at all – all of a
sudden.
I still have loads of things that I’d like to write about Iran but I’m not sure I’ll be motivated enough to
actually do it now that I'm back. In the mean time I’ve been experimenting with google maps, trying
to work out the “my maps function”. I'm not sure if it was a success but the result is the itinerary
shown above which is supposed to show the cities I’ve visited, how long I’ve stayed at different places etc.
Below there’s also a link to the last of my photos from Turkey. It's not very many and their not that
interesting, but nevertheless there. Hopefully Kiwi and others have time to send me theirs soon.
