Back from Iran

5 bus rides, 1 taxi, 6 cups of tea and 14 hours later and I,m finally out of Iran. Currently in Eastern Turkey in a tiny hotel room catching up on my web surfing after a month of almost no internet.

Iran was fascinating country filled with beautiful landscapes and wonderful friendly people (most of them) . But I think its going to take me awhile to process the whole experience to give a clear explanation of "what Iran is really like".

These pics are from the 4 day train ride from Istanbul to Tehran i did at the start of the trip.
