OVERNIGHT

We got nasty weather in the late afternoon, so we decided to stop in the mountains at a great picnic spot on our way to Sulaymaniyah. It is well hidden from the main road, with fantastic panoramic views. Unfortunately, the weather was even worse in the morning, so our drive through the pass continued slowly in heavy fog toward Kalka Smaq.
