Anahm Introduction:
Day 28 of our cycling odyssey from Rotterdam to Romania brought us from Ulm to the outskirts of the city, weaving a tale of unexpected turns, gracious hospitality, and the pursuit of a elusive solar panel.
Grateful Departure from Mohsen’s Home:
Our day commenced with a grateful departure from Mohsen’s home. His kindness extended to providing us with the key, allowing us to let ourselves out and continue our journey at our own pace. With memories of shared stories and Iranian tea lingering, we set off to explore the day ahead.
