Tehran to Turkey

Noelle writes:

After braving the streets of Tehran (apparently traffic is the most dangerous thing to foreigners in Iran), we took an overnight bus to the Turkish border where we were met with a snow storm.

We are now in Goreme, Cappadocia (thanks for the suggestion Belinda) where we will relax with some hiking for a few days before heading onto Istanbul.

This is basically the Tehran equivalent to the 401 in Toronto or M25 in London. Although there are supposed to be 4 lanes of traffic the Tehranians have decided to take it upon themselves to create 5 instead. We saw a few accidents but not nearly as many as you would think.
