Sat 11th Oct - Iran at last

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 | By pecosbiff | Views [166]

day 1 of 12 Iran visa. Off ferry and onto next train. 4pm we killed someone! An old man sat on the track and committed suicide by train. Not uncommon, they say. We are delayed by only half an hour which is really sad. In Tabriz I change money and ... Read more >

Shiraz

Sat, 3 May 2008 | By sfau | Views [9]
