Day 20: 5th Mar – Zanjan
Second day in Iran starts with a visit to the Blue Mosque; a historic mosque (blue as depicted in the name) devastated by an earthquake a few centuries back. We also visit the Azerberjan Museum before heading out. Fridays are Sundays in the Islamic calendar so there isn’t much for us to look forward to in regards to activities.
We visit another mosque before heading to our new hotel. Tonight we have twin rooms in what looks like a resort type hotel, with individual bungalows attached in a diagonal layout. Andrea and I are the chosen ones to have the local toilet set-up. Shower wasn’t too good either, but it’s best not to be picky in a new country till about 3 cities.
I decide to go for a walk, seeing as the time was limited, and the rest decide to tag along. Rachel and I walk as far as civilisation lasted then headed back. A fairly quiet and local looking town with not much to excite the traveller. Another night of movies with Lana and Liam, which Rachel joins. We all settle down after our dinner in the hotel restaurant for a relaxing night. Far too quiet for the trip so far, albeit relaxing and relieving.
