We are back on route. Life never stops and our eyes are once more set on Nepal which is where we are heading but first we have to get over the most difficult part which is to get back to where we left out bikes. Three long uncomfortable days without sleep and time changes await us. Erzurum is our first stop. This is where our visas to enter Iran are waiting for us, or at least, we hope so. The latest news from Iran are not promising. The recently held elections have caused great upheaval throughout the country. Musavi’s followers have kept their promise and are concentrating in massive demonstrations. In the plane to Athens, Machus is nervously reading the newspaper while biting her nails. She doesn’t know what to expect. We don’t even know if we’ll be able to get the visa. She doesn’t know if she will dare to take that step forward. We are riding and are seven days form the frontier, a total of about ten days if we consider the days we’ll need to get to Erzurum. We should reach Iran before the end of June. Personally, the riots don’t really bother me that much. At this point, I am ready to go and see what the hell is happening in the country, get to know, first hand what the political and social situation is. I have only heard about the country through others.
The plane is flying at 2000 metres and at approximately 800 km per hour. Our apparent safety is taking us to dangerous places. It just goes to show how deceiving appearances can be. Below, we can only see a never-ending blue rug, a spotless Mediterranean. Up above, an infinite turquoise blue blanket, the sun is shining strongly so that we can hardly keep our eyes opened due to the light.
A minute shell, similar to an egg’s is keeping 100 souls levitating in the invisible atmosphere. Whatever will be, will be. An old saying from Asturias goes “If it can be fixed, it will be fixed, if it can’t, it’s as fixed as it will ever be.”
Greetings from Athens
Heat and patience with the delays.
