View from Hotel across lake Dukan 120 us a night. I was only guest there.....
Selling pigeons in Suleymaniya
Shoeshine boys in Erbil - 70c a pair - they give you flip flops to wear in the cafe opposite whilst you drink tea
Early morning tea in Erbil (500 dinars = 40c) - the shoeshine boys work the cafes here
Nice pics, but no women in any of them...thought there would be at least a few outside.
Divert valve at base of dam open.
You see women in shops - but never sat down drinking tea or travelling alone. Difficult to take pics of them too.
Here's one Holly! I cycled past their ramshackle petrol station about 40kms from Erbil and they invited me in for tea. Then brought me food out.
Road from Erbil heading east. Was getting pretty knackered by this point and weather closing in.
Thanks for that. Was the food good?
Great stuff. Keep the pics coming.
Is that 3 ltr bottle of white lightning 8% 'cider' ,to the ladies right ?
Is that a real sofa behind them , or some Tromp l'Oeil style mural , painted on the wall ? hence the need to sit on the floor
How was the accommodation on the road ,did you spend any nights sleeping under the stars ?
Note the cool cycling gear. It was a real bugger seeing where to go with that bag over my head too.

This was as basic as it got. I was invited to stay in the sports club dorm. Home of the Iraqi Triathlete Team. Had a ride with two of them and swim in the lake the next day.
