Iran update 3.

English Version (Ceska nasleduje pod anglickou)

Finally, things are starting to move and after all these negative information we are receiving some good ones.

But there’s one more bad one on the start.

Iran does require the Carnet for vehicles and bikes crossing its borders. Again, we got slightly surprised by the find. The search on the Hubb revealed it isn’t exactly cheap as one has to pay large fee for the documentation and the amount of the vehicle worth to keep as deposit.

The info can be found on:

However thanks to a contact in Prague who did the trip few months ago we have managed to save a few hundred euros by going thorough Czech Autoturist. The carnet cost 1800Kc and they require 8000Kc deposit which is refundable when stamped out carnet is returned. Easy…

We have also finally received our Iranian visa!!! They are yet to be collected form the Embassy, but we have them.

I’m also hearing bit more positive news on diesel situation. Parentally it really is everywhere, including Maku so we should be ok.

And to beat it all, Britpart has given us a lovely sponsorship present – the DB9500i winch and the Defender bumper with few extra spares and equipment. Thank you…

It looks we won’t need to wait for the passing trucks to get us out of the ditches, snow or any unpleasant situation we could get into.

We only need the new set of tyres as the old ones are getting bit crap on snow and mud and we are ready to go. Well, ready to go, but on hold until 27.3.

Will keep you posted.


Ceska verze:

Tak konecne se zacina neco dit a po mori spatnych zprav se zniceho nic objevuji same pozitiva.

Na zacatek ale jeste jednu spatnou.

Iran definitivne vyzaduje Karnet pro prujezd svym uzemim. Karnet je specialni listina vydavana Evropskymi automobilovymi spolecnostmi jako RAC, nebo ADAC jez umoznuje docasny dovoz vozidla do navstevovane zeme a jez funguje jako garance proti prodeji tohoto vozidla v navstevovane zemi.

Je treba zaplatit za document s veskerymi udaji o vozidle a s nekolik prazdnymi papiry, ktere se musi nechat pri prijezdu na a vyjezdu z hranice orazitkovat a ponechat u prislusne spolecnosti deposit, jez by propadl zemi do ktere vozidlo cestuje v pripade ze se nevyveze zpet ze zeme.

Po kratkem pruzkumu Hubb zjistujeme ze ani poplatek ani deposit neni vubec maly. RAC v Britanii si uctuje 300 liber za document a cenu vozidla jako polatek. Uf!

Nastesti se nam dari diky znamemu jenz v Iranu loni byl ziskat jeden pres cesky Autotiriust za smesnych 1800kc a 8000kc deposit na 300 000ve auto. Parada!

Taky jsme konecne dostali Iranska viza. Jeste jsme je nevyzvedli, ale definitivne na nas cekaji na ambasade.

Dalsi dobou zpravou je vice informaci o nafte, nakonec je opravdu pry skoro vsude, takze se nemame ceho obavat.

Do uplne priparavove pohody nas dostal Britpart, jez nam sponzorsky venoval jejich nejlepsi navijak DB9500i i s naraznikem a pridal navic plno nahradnich dilu a vybavy. Dekujeme nastokrat.

Ted uz nam chybi jenom nove pneumatiky, jelikoz ty Libyjske uz zacinaji po 25 000km pekne klouzat na snehu a mokru a muzeme jet.

Takze odjezd 27.3. Kdo chce se s nama muze v Brne prijet na Cejl rozloucit.

Podrobnosti pozdeji.
