Iran is a good choice to start, for me is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever been (I was there three months traveling in 2007 and 2008)
Good luck for your new big adventure.

lieve Bärbel en Johan, we hebben jullie blog gekregen van je vader en willen jullie volgen op jullie reis. Maar eerst de beste wensen voor 2016 die hopelijk zonder problemen zal verlopen. Wat een prachtige reis en wat een avontuur. We genieten van de mooie foto’s. In Zuidlaren is alles goed behalve dat de temperatuur veel te hoog is. er is bepaald geen kans op sneeuw en dus is het ook dit jaar een groene kerst geweest. Jeroen is met de Kerstdagen bij ons thuis en doet jullie ook de hartelijke groeten
Corry en Eltjo.
