A long bus ride to Kerman from Shiraz is unexpectedly interesting. Usually unrelated men and women are not seated next to each other on long distance buses, but this driver decides that two clueless Chinese should sit together so they will at least have someone to talk to for 8 hours. This is how I meet Liu, a telecommunications engineer, who has …

Alan and I love desert environments and we were pleased that we were able to include a visit to the far flung city of Kerman in famous Dashte-e Lut (Lut Desert) of south-eastern Iran.

This was another place that rarely saw tourists and has a university so lots of students here and several wanted to chat to me to ...

After another lazy day at Silk Road, my plan was to move to Shiraz for 2 or 3 days. Initially I wanted to take the 2pm direct bus from Yazd to Shiraz, but a couple of months ago the bus terminal of Yazd moved to somewhere outside the city, and was difficult to reach by public transport. So, instead I took a minibus that were heading to small cities on the main road between Yazd and Shiraz. Once there, I would have 2 options : hitch-hike or flag the 2 o'clock bus when it will pass ...
