OzBus 14

There is a visit to another Blue Mosque after departing from Zanjan. The weather is brighter compared to the last couple of days, giving us all a renewed sensation of tackling travel through Iran. Our next stop for this stage is the capital, Tehran.

The sun has now made it’s presence clear as we roll into the capital. The roads in the city look like chaos, but nothing compared to what’s to come on our journey. Our hotel is 4-star Enghelab hotel and one of the luxurious yet. Usual room distribution and bag drop and we’re off! A quick bite of kebab and the group separate. I go wandering into the city and decide to head for Milad Tower at the other end of town, blissfully unaware of it’s distance from my current location. Our maps seemed to miniaturise the city into an easily walk able terrain. Silly me. After getting lost numerous times, I get within walking distance before the main motorway stopping me. Seeing as I spent 4 hours walking to get to that point, I gracefully give in and head back to the hotel.

11pm I arrive back to the hotel, with a great knowledge of the city and a walking tour that was so good due to it’s spontaneity, ready for some much needed rest!
