Last night in Tabriz, heading to Tehran (the capital of Iran) on the night bus tonight. 600km's but 9 hours on the bus as they travel at about 65kph. It's been a very busy 2 days! Yesterday visited an Armenian church in a very beautiful yet remote part of Iran, near the border with Azerbaijan, first built by St Bartholmew in AD62! It took a while to get there and back with minibuses and taxis! (taxis are about 5 p per kilometre)! But the countryside was worth it, amazing scenery! Quite suprized by the arrival of about 10 Imam's as well!

Today, met with my friend's sister Narges (thanks Daniel) she and her husband were very kind and took us to lunch and we then visited Kandovan, close to Tabriz. A small Capodoccia like place, where people have built their houses into volcanic rock on the hills. Check the photos of the crazy landscape!

Big storm moving in now, so time for Tehran! Tomorrow i need to sort out my next visa, so could be a while in the Turkmenistan embassy...
