Ali Qapu Esfahan

... vystupovat tak ve tři ráno. Ani náhodou. Jali jsme se tedy rezervovat lístky na autobus, přičemž nás pozval do kanceláře na čaj místní kanec. Cca 50letý vitální pán (který prý žil 31 let v americe) nám nejdřív vnutil pár prospektů, které chtěl protlačit přes českou pobočku Lonely planet a poté se nás snažil zlákat k sexuální promiskuitě nejdřív v Iránu a poté aspoň v Arménii. Uvidíme ...

... do everywhere we went we didn't want to miss out. In Esfahan the middle of the day was the only time the Square was empty &#8211; in the evening it was flooded with locals having a picnics on the grass or taking a horse and cart ride around the perimeter. <br><br>That evening we visited the Si-o-Seh Bridge. Usually this was a picture postcard attraction in Esfahan, particularly with the evening light twinkling on the water beneath the bridges. Sadly we arrived to find there was no water ...

... stifling, especially with the headscarf and full length clothes. We had KFC (or ZFC as the Iranians like to call it) for lunch (I know I know, but we fancied a bit of western food) and then I caught a taxi back with Chris and Sarah as my flip flops have given me hefty blisters.

... re journée vit les choses se débloquer peu à peu pour, à terme, me laisser exploser de bonheur. Il y eut ce déjeuner dans une bicoque trad, surtout peuplée de touristes ; on m'avait je ne sais pourquoi calé dans un coin "côté iranien", si bien que lorsqu'elles arrivèrent peu ...

... He said I was the only Canadian he had ever met in Iran. The next day was spent mainly walking through the city, buying goodies for people in Italy and back home. At night, again, I walked along the river and met another man, Ali, who wanted to take me to Zurkhane, which is the oldest sport in the world. I had heard it be described as a cross between capoeira and weight-lifting, and it's just that. We walked for hours upon hours (for me, anyways, because I was ...

So today is my birthday. I cant believe I am 35. I definitely don't feel like I am 35. If you asked me a year ago I would have said I did feel my age. It is amazing what travelling the world could do to your mind and body. I expect this birthday to be a quiet one. It will be a special one regardless. How many more birthdays will I get to spend in Iran. Today the plan is to just take it easy. I am not going to see anything special. I am just going to walk around the city and take ...

I was hoping to leave Yazd early today but it didn't happen. I slept in Until 9 am. I needed the sleep as I felt exhausted from being in the sun the last 2 days. I must have been really tired as a Dutch guy in my room woke me up to tell me I was snoring very loudly. I was a little embarrassed. Before leaving Yazd, I went to the bank to change money.
