Yesterday Yuri and I decided - it's time for us to leave this city. By 15:30 today we'll take the ferry to a city south of Istanbul, Yalova, from where on we decide whether we will leave the visa be and continue our tour till we've seen all of Turkey, or whether we will return to Istanbul later on to pick up our one way ticket to Persia. If there will be a ticket available for us of course. Without getting in to details - if you're planning to get a visa for Iran, prepare for a bit of patience.

Because Yuri and I are stuck in Istanbul waiting for our Iranian visas to come through, I have had some time to update just about all of the pictures up till now. You'll find them on my picasa, located here.

Because of some time pressure in reaching Istanbul 'in time' (read: incoming girlfriends), Yuri and I cheated a bit the last two days. First off we travelled almost the whole of Montenegro by bus, to sleep in it's capital Podgorica. We were allowed to sleep on the abandoned upper floor of a house still under construction - a luxurious sleepover compared to camping in one of the dark wastelands surrounding the city. The next morning we woke up to find our coffees ready and afterward headed for the border with Albania. What awaited us was beyond my wildest expectations:

Because I appear too stupid to adequately deal with the website's picture uploading system, I decided to keep my and Yuri's pictures updated on my personal picasaweb account. Take a look at the following page for the latest pictures, I've managed to update them up to the first series of pictures shot in France. More will follow.
