Hi all. Currently in Yasd in central Iran! It's very hot and as I sit here and bake in my hijab headscarf I'm dreaming of ice cold rivers and no headscarf!
Left Esfehan on wednesday morning to head towards Persepolis. Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit Shiraz....another time I hope. The ruins at Persepolis were quite impressive but some have been rebuilt and lost their charm a little! Darius the Great built it aroung 515bc....so it's pretty darn old! Now in Yasd and this morning I've had a wander around the old mudbrick city and a peek in the Jameh mosque. There is plenty yet to see but I reckon I'll wait until the heat dies a little....normally around 4pm! Tonight we have the pleasure of sleeping on the roof of a hotel under the stars! As long as there are no camel spiders I'm happy. We had the pleasure of their company last night ....they're fast little(or not so little if you're not used to spiders)things! I spent my bush camp time wisely and have been taught poi(a trditional maori dance prop....using 2 balls on string and twirling)....I'm now hooked!
Have sent you a wee email Hetty and you too mum! I would love to have the time to send all you folks out there emails but alas.....time just does not allow....I'd spend my life in an internet cafe! Sorry for all those birthdays I've missed....Marie, Lizzie P, woo and happy birthday for today Auntie R! Believe me when I say I'm thinking of you all!
....mmmmkebab? no I reckon it's going to be a fruit smoothie and some pastry! then a wander through the bazar!
Toodleoo for the noo!
