Today I am riding from Yazd to Isfahan in Iran. Because of heavy rains and terrible floodings in large parts of `Iran, I decide to take the expressway. Riding through the mountains on small backroads doesn't seem to be a good idea at the moment. But riding in Iran during the holiday season, with millions of people traveling around the country, can be tricky too! It didn't matter on which part of the road I was, cars come so, so close to you around here. It freaked me out! Luckily I could regularly escape the express way to explore some small villages; a lot quieter and safer!
