Not a great deal to report today as most of today was simply spent getting from A to B. We headed off early after a light breakfast and managed to exit Hamadan without any difficulty at all. The next several hours were spent driving via smaller towns to get to Kashan. A brief moment of excitement ensued when we took a wrong turn near Arak and started heading to Khomein instead of the Qom, Tehran direction we had wanted. After realising our mistake we made a U turn a little way down the road but unfortunately this turned out to be close to a military base. A group of 6 soldiers spotted us and waved us down but after a brief chat and explanation we were sent on our way to my great relief - they carry rather large machine guns these boys.Anyway we finally located the fairly new Negarestan Hotel and proceeded to unwind. A brief walk up the street and back followed by dinner at the hotel restaurant completed our day.
Our blog created to record our experiences as we travel through Iran and Turkey on our own before joining an organised study tour in Turkey for the last two weeks of our journey Still trying to see as much of the planet as possible. We hope you enjoy our observations and holiday snaps.
