I am on my way toward the border with Pakistan. The southern route to Bam is an unknown so having made good time I chose to do the xtra distance today and rode to Kerman.
It was a simple desert and mountains ride.
Nothing memorable at all but having said that there were huge areas of small silver barked tress like miniature wallnuts that I understand were in fact pistacio.
The Pic is a roadside stall of nuts.
The benefit was that the following day would be easier.
Found a Hotel, again expensive and despite Lonely Plonkers saying discounts are readily available......yeah !
Sorry to so cynical about Lonely Planet but their books are really inadequate. Poorly written poorly researched and often just misleading. Again the food was ordinary. The Hotel like so many was party refurbished and had no internet and no interest in providing much in the way of service at all.
I did get some advice on the next days ride and that was appreciated.
It had been a pretty long ride however at 540k with only dormant trees and mountains for company.
