I've always been interested in travelling (rolling stone etc...)+ I want to make up my own opinion about a country+I'm a sucker for deserts+ the longer, the
better.

I would want to travel the great ancient trade routes, as the Silk Route as well, some day.

I see. It is a tourist trip. Did you buy a guided tour or you decided to travel on your own?

Cuppa #7.
Keemun. Ta to The East India Company. Superb tea.

It is a small group of 8 persons- cultural /tourist trip. Travelling alone is not advised, as we had some political problems in Iran and we side with the US of course. That last one did not allow Iranian Airways to fuel up in Amsterdam: therefore we had to nake a landing elsewhere before Tehran.

In my cup: lots of water. It is 35 C and a humidity of around 8 % in the desert, in Yazd.

Enjoying my fresh hot arabica coffee.
