Left Erzurum to drop Mummy to the airport, temp -3 degrees Celsius, the only guy happy to drop Mummy to the airport was Daniel, so he could sleep flat out on the back seat. It was a bit sad saying buy to her. Since she had to go back to India to all her problems. Drove through fabulous mountain ranges to the shittiest down in Turkey, called Dugubeyazit, even Magundi is better than this. On the way there, we say at least 5 check posts of army guys checking everybody, since we are at the border of Armenia and Iran, this town is also filled with soldiers. Found a hotel, which is the shittiest in all Turkey, we even went and checked their best hotel and it was of the same standard, since the owner could speak English we checked in here. Exchanged all our Turkisk money for Euros, went out and blasted all our Turkish Lira on drinks and had dinner, looking forward to hitting Iran tomorrow. The town we are in, is at the base of Mount Aramat where Noah was supposed to have parked his arc. The people here are very friendly.

I dag startede vi med at køre Farmor i lufthavnen, trist at tage afsked med hende. Det har været hyggeligt at have hende med. Så kørte vi direkte til Dogubeyazit, en by tæt på den iranske grænse. Igen kørte vi igennem flot landskab med mange bjerge og også snedækkede bjergtoppe. I Dogubeyazit ligger Tyrkiets højeste bjerg på ca. 5100 m, et meget flot syn, fra vores nok værste hotel på turen indtil nu. Vi er ved at forberede os mentalt på Iran og grænsen i morgen, jeg skal have fundet det løse tøj og tørklædet frem. Vi vekslede de sidste Tyrkiske Lira til Euro, og gik på en lidt skummel bar for at få de sidste drinks inden Iran. Vi er kommet til kurdernes territorium her. Her er noget mere fattigt end hvad vi har set i resten af Tyrkiet. Vi ved ikke lige hvornår vi igen får mulighed for at opdaterer bloggen, da Iran vist ikke har hel så god Internet dækning som Tyrkiet.
