So it begins. An over three thousand mile journey to Iran. By Car.
You're probably already thinking: "great, a fun road trip across Europe!" Not really. My father, mother and I are in a large car filled as much as it can be with luggage, and on top of that, there's a roof box (excuse the pun). Imagine being in the back of an old Corsa with three other people. That's the maximum level of comfort we generally have.
We set off from London on the 17th of August to get to the Port of Dover by 23:00, an hour before the departure of our ferry. Driving through the suburbs was to say the very least, discomforting. With all that excess weight in the car, each swerve added to a newly formed motion sickness. Not the greatest way to start a week long car journey, but hey ho, with the help of a tablet, I got used to it and was put to ease.
I write this now on the ferry with one more hour to go until we get to Dunkirk where the aim is to get to Vienna by evening. Though it's worth noting, with limited access to wi-fi, this will probably be uploaded a few days later.
Watch this space!
