During my last trip to Patagonia I've met a very interesting couple from Holland who visited Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon on their own - a lot with the help of bike. You can try to contact them - just tell that I've sent you. Their site is: http://www.elsarjan.nl Though the site is in Dutch, you can try to find their mail.

Sincerely, Alex Elbert Jerusalem Israel

Mod's note from Linda: According to the web site, the email address is: Wereldreizigers@Xs4All.nl
