The ride itself along the Caspian sea was not so exciting as the weather was covered and the Caspian’s shores make a popular tourist destination only for Iranis and nobody else understands why, but the fact that we were riding along the biggest lake of the world (yes the Caspian is a lake, its geopolitical definition is still being discussed by the countries along its shores only because littoral resources are shared differently for a lake than for a sea) and 25m below sea level was enough to keep our twisted spirits high.
