Abbys' Travels
Iran....all I can say is that I feel like such a celebrity here! When we were in Istanbul we went and bought clothes that we could wear so we fitted in, but we look like Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat!! Everyone here wears black and only black, and then there are 20 people dressed in red green purple white yellow walking down the street!!! So you can imagine the stares we are getting (apparantly the stuff we are wearing are what people wear at home so imagine someone wearing pj's in England and you are halfway there!) So Iran is slightly different to what I was expecting, the landscape is pretty much desert and flat apart from mountains on either side of you. The only exciting thing that has happened is that we were in Tehran while the presedential elections were on...and outside our hotels the locals were lighting fires to protest the results. Lots of drama but quite fun to watch from the top floor of the hotel. Dont worry though, we were all safe and sound. The locals are actually protesting to become more western so they would love us!!! We are currently in Estafan and seems a bit prettier than the rest of the country. Have a free day here tomorrow and then we head back to Tehran ready for our flight to Karachi in Pakistan.....not too excited to go there but will be a great achievement to say we have been there! Will let you know how we get on!!!!
