After an anxious 4 weeks (!!) of waiting, I finally get the message that my visa for Turkmenistan is approved! But, I am not sure when I have to enter Turkmenistan... So I don't want to take the risk and arrive too late at the border. This means I have to ride 750 kilometers to Mashad in Iran, to pick up the visa and I have 1,5 day to cover that distance. Let's ride!
