Day 19: 4th Mar – Tabriz
Today is the day of change; new driver, new bus, new culture, new country and, for the first time, a local tour guide.
Border crossing into Iran is a long and lengthy process. As we say goodbye to Martin, we head into Iran via foot. After some waiting and a few more fingerprinting, we meet our new team, Mustafa our driver and Hassan our guide. The bus is an actual coach rather than a minibus, meaning that we all have the luxury of a set of seats each.
Mountainous peaks greet us into Iran. Dull weather is still lingering but the new land is exciting and intriguing. Breif lunch stop and some confusion with the Iranian toilet signs, then off to the hotel. Once there we have the fun arrangement of connecting rooms, slowly breaking us in to hotel life from the hostel driven accommodation of late.
The province of Azerbijan doesn’t have much to offer so we go for a walk. Girls feel a bit ill so it’s not too long before heading back to the hotel. It’s a short night and a short stop as we move on again in the morn.
