Iran Theran

Since the 5 of August i'm in Iran. It is a strange country, with many people who wants to practice there English. A country were you can buys coca cola and Pepsi. Here in Iran is still a coca cola company. The food so much better then in Turkey. There are more possibilties then in Turkey. In Iran they keep the meet in the fridge which the Turkies dont do on many occassion. The last couple of days I travelled from Tabriz (the best ice cream and the best mellon juices)to Qazvin and then on to Theran. What also strange is that my mobile phone is still working. I heard and read that it was not possible. In Qazvin I rented together with Max, Sandrine and Thierry a taxi to see Alamut and the castles of the assassins. These castles hid the followers of the Hasan a sabbah. His followers were dispatched to murder or kidnap leading political or relegiouse figures. It was a long way from Qazvin but it was a nice ride trough the mountains and see something else like little mud villages. Mud villages are quite common here in Iran. The next day I took a savari ( shared taxi) to Soltaniyeh to see the Oljeitu mauseleum. This time together with Sandrine and Tierry. The mausoleum was worth to see. Getting back to Qazvim was a bit of a challenge because they (taxi peole) wanted us to charge way to much money. At the and we took a local bus to Zanjan and from there a safari back to Qazvim. Again we paid to much but 2 hours in a kia (175 km) for 3 euro is not that much. We at in Eghbali a very nice restaurant we at something called khoresht. Today i had here in Theran Dizi this is a kind of soup stew with chikpeas, potatoes, onions and lamb. The dish was not very cheap because I at this in one of Theran finest reastaurant called Khayyam Traditional Restaurant. You can also get alcohol free beer. They called it beer but is more like lemenade. I tried few local brews, they were not great. But I can also buy Bavaria apple or Bavaria lemmon or just the original one. Tomrrow I go to Kashan.
