No skiing :(

I'm up at 5.45am and use a combination of metro (10 US cents), bus (12.5c) and shared taxi (25c) to get to the Tochal ski complex in northern Tehran where I'm meeting with Shirin and a few of her friends. I'm struck by grief as we're told the Piste is closed today! So much for skiing in Iran....

Esfahan

I arrive early in Esfahan, "the jewel of ancient Persia", and spend the whole day exploring the city, walking, walking and walking. It's a very beautiful city, it's just unfortunate that it's freezing cold all day. I am like a magnet of attention here in Iran; whenever I sit down to read, sip...
