It was this track, combined with that radiator we stuck on the front of the bus, that was to be the death knoll to our bus - took out the drain plug stuck right on the base of the rad (yes, I know, should have thought ! ) Shame - but made for an interesting journey home 3 months on by turkish bus from Tehran to Munich - four days, 38 pounds inc. free food, rough roads, very few toilets. My stomach hed settled by then ( we had all contracted a form of dysentry - luckily we had a doctor with us ) so I quite enjoyed it - others certainly did not. |
