The main reason we were going to Shiraz was Persepolis, the last remainin ruins from the Achaemenid Empire. About 2 500 years old.
So we left very early in the morning, by public transportation to reach the place. Read the rest of this entry »

Without any other transition than a 7 hours bus trip by night, we arrived to Shiraz.
Tough change compared to the Half of the World.

Our first step of the trip. Kashan, small city south/south east and 4 hours by bus from Tehran (only) 150 000 inhabitants.
A first rigorous stop in a very traditional city, where the only coloured clothes you see in the street are the ones from (very few) foreign tourists. Black everywhere. (A bit) frightening. But no worries, Anahide bought a nice iranian manteau in Bazar.
Welcome in Kashan

Tea timeJust before finishing this post, 2 pictures from Abyaneh, a small village 70 km from Kashan where you can meet one of the last zoroastrian community in Iran (these ladies with coloured hijab).

As you probably know (if you’re reading Follow the Way regularly :)), I’ve been 2 weeks in Iran on holidays, with a swiss friend (whose female point of view is also interesting).
2 weeks in a totally crazy country, far far away from all the stereotypes we could have from our western civilizations.
Let’s go
Yerevan, 9.30 AM : our “Volvo” bus ( very comfortable, i.e. with A/C, cold water, toilets) was standing like a giant among all those little soviets marshutkas.

Just before going to Iran (the pictures are coming, I swear it :)), We went with Anahide to Nubarashen dump site, in the framework of her ecological researches for KASA NGO.
Unusual destination for a taxi driver
