Arrived at outskirts of Rafsanjan and decided to stop for night.  Drove into centre (terrifying driving – traffic everywhere, in all directions and no rules!) but couldn’t find hotels (several mentioned in Lonely Planet).  Freds nerves frayed by driving – decided to leave town centre chaos and head for Kerman.  Managed to get onto new, unfinished road in dark and missed turn to Kerman!  Turned around after 15 km (refuelled – we can get 420 miles out of one tank) and went back to find it.  Arrived at Kerman without incident.  First hotel not interested – said he was full – but it was deserted!  Fortunately, there was another hotel directly opposite.  Extremely nice.  Manager very enthusiastic and spoke good English.  Tea and biscuits on arrival – very welcome.
