Just heard from Team Flora that they have arrived in Iran. Sounds like it was a rough day of travelling.
They were held up at customs for 5 hours then had to drive another 600km to get to the hotel. They arrived at 11 pm to find there were no hotel rooms left and had to sleep on the floor of the lobby! As Treacy commented, "A first for them!"
Apparently, they are living off of toast and jam as many people have become quite sick with food poisoning. I'm sure they will be happy in the coming days to be heading into Turkey and Italy. Good food awaits!
Thanks for the update, I've been reading some of the other blogs and there are very mixed reviews of Iran. Glad that you two haven't had any problems (except 13 punctures). Stay healthy.
