We take it easy during our last few days in Iran. Our guided tour through Turkmenistan starts with two days in Ashgabat, immersed in nothing less than a fantasy novel. The visit to the Akhal-Teke stables is an interesting diversion, then absolute contrast: Two days through utter emptiness, all to experience the highlight of a night-camp at The Gates of Hell.
