We arrived in the desert. One of the most impressive places of our trip so far.
The Maranjab desert is inviting us to spend two fascinating days there.
Especially the live xenophobia of desert is so amazing. The fact that there is just nothing around
attracts us into its spell
wild camels just next to the road is something we never discovered before
what if they just start running without saying anything?
We are catching up with an iranian SUV driver who offers a ride to us.
of course we join him!
this is great fun with the kids
we are speeding over the sand dunes
riding up and down until we are feeling dizzy
At night we realize the lonelyness even more, the incredible silence without any other sound and the amazing sky because there is NO other light source around
We are in SanSan
this very good maintained caravanery offered a save place for the night to the many travelers along the silk road in the past on there months-lasting trips
here they could feed and care their camels, sleep and people and goods were protected from thieves
walking around we can still feel how busy this place must have been in the past
later we visit a small farm in this village and enjoy fresh home made pomegranate juice
we are spending the night with an iranian family operating a tourist complex
we are having dinner together, tell us about stories of our life
and while playing Ludo together we realize that not even language is necessary to get together with people
and how united all humans could be ... if they just want
a persian bath
typical are the vents at the top providing an comfortable climate inside even during hot season
its hard to find a place to spend the night in the van without somebody coming by inviting you to his home
we try to refuse this invitations in a friendly way even we are happy about this persian hospitality
We get known to Sohela and her family and spending a nice time together
and will meet them in Tehran in near future
friendly but very persistent we are getting offered a house in Esfahan.
finally we accept and move in for some days
it turns out to be a nice location to discover the city by walking or quick car rides
There is a reason Esfahan is called "half of the world"
we enjoy the flair of the city, meet Hasti and her family and visit the Khaju bridge
The change of world climate is very obvious here
more then 10 years the river is out of water at the time we are there
the pedalos are still at the shore but with naturalness people are walking trough the riverbed
at night people meet for singing and some traditional dancing
We were able to see a very historic loom
and meet one of the last three remaining instructor teaching the ability to build those maschines
at our lunch today we eat abgoosht - a famous traditional iranian dish which made it to become one of our favorites now
at the beginning of our iran trip we got told each region has its own bread - and that's how it is.
always tasty, always fresh and directly from the oven to the customer. yummy
it's just great if you get this ultra fresh bread and just eat half of it right away tasting it with the kids
the Imam mosque - if you make a sound in the middle of the building the echo comes back up to 18 times
unfortunately we only got few video records of our first iran trip
but we did not want to spare out those pictures
they were taking at the street
at the bazar
and at the many many meet ups we had with iranian people
the openness and friendlyness were overwhelming
today we are guest at the iranian childrens week in Tehran
of course a white family with five kids is an eye catcher
beside a tour we had a quick interview for iranian TV and first time in life we were giving autographs
we meet in the evening at Dr. Coffee's Cafe and enjoy iranian dinner together with friends
