Emptiness and loneliness are increasing in the Iranian deserts

Emptiness and loneliness are increasing in the Iranian deserts (S1E28) Another desert adventure this week in which I’m riding from Shiraz to Kerman. The emptiness and loneliness are increasing rapidly and I’m pedaling on lots of long stretched empty roads. With limited water and food supply I’m stocking up in every town I cross. On the way I get handed some fresh fruits from a local farmer and some bored teenagers entertain me with their tricks on the motorcycle. The camping spots are easy to find in the empty landscapes and the desert treats me to some incredible starry night skies. Headwinds and heat make the ride more intense, but with some good efforts I manage to make it to Kerman in time. Enjoy the ride!
