Bandar Abbas/Iran

Warm weather at last!!! It is +25 quite constantly during the day and a nice breeze of cool wind during the evenings.

Bandar Abbas is not a spectacular place but it has it's pros- during a clear day, it is possible to see the mountains of Oman situated at the other side of the persian gulf.
20 km away from the city there's an Island called Quesm and it is possible to get there by a continous speedboat service. Cost- 1200 rials. And it is great fun to sit on a speedboat and go really really really fast!!!!!
Also, it is possible to get illegally to Dubai for a tiny price. There's a lot of smuggling between Dubai and Queshm, so u just pay some smugglers some money and they put u down somewhere in UAE. Takes only 45 minutes to get thereby a speedboat.

First trouble with police during the trip- we got arrested coz Joss was wearing a shirt with no sleeves. Just for an half an hour but was fun.

We will celebrate new year on the bus (probably with a few non-alcoholic Baltika 0's, and it is un fucking believable that its comercially available here in Iran) which takes us to the border of Pakistan. We leave 6PM on sunday towards the city of Zahedan, and meet a swedish dude there. He was looking for travelmates trough lonelyplanet thorntree websit to cross the border and we replied.
