Iran: Yazd - Abyaneh
oboehm, 09:16h
Continued from: Yazd
In Meybod we visited a pottery in which I would have got out my wife probably not as fast. We were also allowed to visit the workshop - it was very very hot where the men had to work (one as sitting in the baking oven and brought out the ceramics).
Chak Chak is a small green spot in the dessert, middle in the mountain. After a myth one of the guardian of the fire had found refuge here when she fled from the Arabs. There is a Zoroastrian mountain shrine at this place where water drips from the rock (chak, chak, ...). Our guide thanked us for the journey (Hey, we had to thank him!!!) - it was the next to the last day of our Iran trip.
After Nā'in, as we were driving through the dessert, we saw a rare phenomenon: rain! Normally it never rains there (said our leader - but we already knew that from Tehran). But this time we had even a rainbow!
On the way to Abyaneh we saw an injured turtle on the roadside. We stopped, disinfected the wound and covered it with a band-aid. If you will see a turtle with a band-aid around Abyaneh - tell it a greeting from us.
We reached Abyaneh (a wonderful mountain village) and our hotel in the dark.
