Sarab City & a tour in Nomadic Life

July 08

on the way to Bostanabad:-)my friend Mr. Alizadeh @ workmy room in Sarab citymessy as usual lolsheeps on a row

I start cycling after having the breakfast in the tent to Bostan Abad; this small town was about 15 kms in ahead from the lake.

There was a nice hot mineral water pool which I preferred to spend a couple hours there. I met some Turkish people who were coming from around the town just for swimming in the pool.

on the way:-);-)
an old tent :-(
a happy Nomadic Coupletraditional food :-)

They believe this hot water will cure some illnesses like bone pain and so on, but in my opinion I guess, one time swimming have no any positive effect on those who were swimming for healthiness, it needs to use it for several times in a week, anyway. It was great for me to feel relax after few months cycling even I used shower every 2 days, Anyway.

lunch time:-)a nice lake on the Sabalan mountain

After taking shower, I felt hungry and I went to one of the restaurant to have a great meal. And then I started cycling again to Sarab city on the way to Ardebil, the road was mostly flat but the asphalt was damaged on the sides which caused my rear tire got explosion: – ((it was just about 10 km to Sarab city) I had to stay for about 2 hours till someone stopped for me to help, he was a nice man who could take me to the center of bike sellers in the town, I could changed the tire and tube with a local shop keepers, he was a nice guy who was really interested to talk to me as an adventurer, he offered me a cup of tea and some cookies too, I enjoyed my time there even if I had to wait for about 2 hours on the road for help ;-)

    Hi Mohammad!

    Wow, you were lucky to get invited :-) Are these Kurdic Nomads? I saw them a lot in eastern Turkey but “We” were alway in a hurry in the beginning (not good) and did not stay with them.

    Enjoy your journey and take your time :-)
