Iran: Shiraz - Yazd
oboehm, 09:31h
Continued from: Shiraz
From our driver we heard that there were disturbances in Teheran and Shiraz. A famous goalkeeper and trainer of the Iranian soccer team, who was popular with the population and critical to the government, died. We notices more police on the streat as ususal - these were the only impact for us.
In Abarkuh we did a stop for lunch and visited then the oldest living cypress, also called Sarv-e Abarqu. After that we went to the desert - flat as a pancake and hot.
The hotel in Yazd was in a side rad where you never would assume a hotel. It was a traditional hotel with a nice atrium with access to the hotel rooms.
In the evening we visited a traditional material arts training which took place in an old cistern. Next we visited one of the windcatchers where Yaszd is famous for.
After dinner we went back to hotel, drank some tea and smoked the water pipe. We had also some sherry we drank with our neighbours. They asked us if we needed some more to drink but we were a little bit tired from the last days.
