PERSEPOLIS AND YAZD – IRAN
5/7/2023 – 7/7/2023 Today marks our first day of driving across the Iranian countryside – heading towards Yazd, via the ruins of the ancient city of Persepolis.

SHIRAZ – IRAN
4/7/23 – 5/7/23 After a decent night’s sleep in Arg Hotel’s incredibly hard mattresses (great for supporting your back!), and a quick breakfast at the hotel – tomato omelette for me, an Iranian lentil dish for Dad – and we were off to our first stop of the day, the Pink Mosque. Named for the…

BAKU – AZERBAIJAN
23/6/23 – 26/6/23 After spending most of the morning procrastinating, I finally got my act together and sorted myself out for my upcoming series of flights, and caught the train to the airport.
