There was a certain route through the desert-like landscape with Steppes pasture. We observed the tents of nomads with their livestock and camels grazing in the distance. We then passed through BOJSUND, SHIRVAN and to QUCHAN.

We
arrived MASHHAD at dusk, where we met a carpet
broker, who volunteered to take us to apply for visa for AFGHANISTAN and escorted us to the car parking area far
away from the center. We did not know what the real purpose and what he really

intended to drive back into town.
