  2. #AzadiRail day #16, homebound day #6 : From 🇧🇬 #Русе / #Ruse, a small mini bus 🚌 will bring me to 🇷🇴 #Bucuresti. The bus is packed but the #AzadiBus trip will only take 2 hours.

  3. Next train for my #AzadiRail trip : the comfortable :tcdd: class HT80000 Velaro from 🇹🇷 #Ankara to 🇹🇷 #Istanbul.

    I got the last available seat in the train, a luxury first class compartment seat, similar to the business class in first generation :railjet: trains.

    This YHT comes from 🇹🇷 #Sivas, where I've been at around 2 a.m. in my #GüneyEkspresi . For the ne?t four hours, this means some relaxing time before boarding my #AzadiBus to 🇹🇷 #Kapikule tonight.

  4. #AzadiBus 3.30 a.m., :flag_krd: Midyad / 🇹🇷 Midyat. Next stop : :flag_krd: #Êlih / 🇹🇷 Batman. I'm tired. #AzadiRail

  5. After one more hours, I was now taken to *another* #AzadiBus. They say my bus won't stop in :flag_krd: #Êlih / 🇹🇷 Batman today so I should take that other one. It's not getting better, is it ?

    Anyways, I'm now sitting in a bus and we're about to depart. ETA : 4 a.m. - heck, I'm tired. #AzadiRail

  6. Anyways, now that I have internet, some pictures from the #AzadiBus trip :

    The International Terminal of :flag_krd: #Dihok / #Duhok is a bit of a joke : there's a giant terminal with gates to the bus platforms but since going there would mean a détour, the busses in fact stop on the sideway of the highway close by.

    Some minutes prior to departure, a taxi drives over and picks up all passengers (at the end we were 3) and drives them for the 2 km to the bus's actual stop.

    With 3½ h delay, our bus arrived. It's a comfortable mainline bus and the landscape of mesopotamia was yet beautiful.

  7. #AzadiRail day 11 : Sadly vacation is ending soon so slowly time to get back to France. Homebound day 1 : My #AzadiBus from :flag_krd: #Dihok / #Duhok sadly was canceled. After asking each and every ticket counter in the International Bus Terminal, the conclusion seemed to be : not just my bus was canceled, but pretty every bus. Seemingly in at 5 p.m. there will be the next bus bringing me to :flag_krd: #Êlih / 🇹🇷 Batman. That means yet another boring day doing nothing and waiting at the bus terminal since that so far is the most comfortable spot I found in this weird city.

  8. #AzadiRail day 9 was : #AzadiBus with flaws from :flag_krd: #Hewlêr / #Erbil to :flag_krd: #Zaxo / #Zakho, a relaxed afternoon and travel preparations for tomorrow.

  9. Our #AzadiBus arrived with 4 hours delay in :flag_krd: #Hewlêr / #أربيل / #Erbil. The trip took 12:45 h in total. I'm just exhausted and flopping into my bed. #AzadiRail

  10. #AzadiBus #CrossBorderBus stop #5 : the 🇹🇷 #Habur / 🇮🇶 #IbrahimKhalil corder crossing. #AzadiRail

    After 7 travel days, finally crossing the border to 🇮🇶 Iraq 🚍 !

    🚂🇫🇷🇩🇪🇦🇹🇭🇺🇷🇴🇧🇬🇹🇷🇮🇶

  11. From 🇹🇷 #Diyarbakır bus terminal, my #AzadiBus will bring me to 🇮🇶 #Erbil / #Arbil / #Hewlêr in Iraqi #Kurdistan region. #AzadiRail country 8 of 9 in sigh 🎉 !

    The bus is comfortable and modern though not as fancy as the bus I had on my way to Diyarbakır. To my surprise, the steward spoke decent English. This will simplify the communication at #IbrahimKhalil border crossing.
