Hello everybody.
After a few months in hibernation, time is come to leave again."On the road again" as said the other.
I start next Monday (9th of Marsh)
The last 4 months passed quickly, finaly, between the Yohanna's teach, the consulate library (I have read maybe about 50 books since november), the flatemates... No regret, it was super, but I can't wait to leave, now.
There is nothing to see with my start from France, where I was under stress. Today, I'm just happy to take the road again, no fear : I know where I go, I'm ready. I think...
So It's OK.
I send in France some materials : my dying tent (-3kg),my sleeping bag (-1,5kg), and some kilos of little useless things. I bought 2 bags to carry the rest : the total weight is not 10 kg, even with a full bottle of water. Other advantage : I will walk straight ! I was enough to walk bend down because of the weight of my big bagpack. Now, it should be right.
So, the question everybody ask to me : "How will you do if you have got nothing ?"
As I said before my start in France, I want to use the local hospitality to pass over the middle east. In this part of the world, it's always a religious deal.
And the fact I am (really)lighter should let me cover a bigger distance in the same time than before, or the same distance in a shorter time, and so, I should have more time to find a place to sleep each night. Anyway, I have no choice and it's not bad : I always have problems to go towards people, it's the occasion to change, and to learn.
And the night will be cold, which should delete my ultimate hesitations (faltering ?). In true, I learned Anatolia plateau is very cold in winter, with a lot of snow... But I take some precautions : stating now, I would arrive arrive in the coldest area (Erzurum-Tabriz) at the end of April. I hope the weather will be better. At all events, starting later would be dangerous in Himalaya mountains, and I prefer to be cold instead of in October...
About administrative questions, everything is OK until Tehran : my Iranian Visa wait for me in Erzurum, I made my turkish stamp longer...quiet.
I should write my next message from Ankara, the capital.
Let's go !
