Now I want to finally say a few words about the city, which has been my longest base so far: Yazd!
Just a few impressions and what to do when you are here:
- Visit the Fire Temple and the Museum of Zoroastrianism, where, at best, a warm and dedicated guide waits to guide you through the exhibition for three hours. ... it really is exciting! Yazd is a stronghold of Zoroastrianism, one of the oldest monotheistic religions still in existence.
- Traipse through the wonderful and big old town. All clay buildings ... Great atmosphere in the narrow streets! Also in the dark. Yazd is the 'city of wind towers'. Should be found in the photos too. Quasi natural air conditioners.
- Visit the water museum. Everything about Qanats. These are the underground channels for water supply. Contribute to the natural air conditioning.
- live in the middle of the old town in one of the traditional houses with a beautiful courtyard. In our first lodging, Dean and Andi were so irritated by our over-excited, but always embarrassed and friendly host, that they were looking for the hook ? yes, the Iranians can overstrain one.
Last but not least, I have to celebrate my (former) two mireis, who finally endured two weeks with me:
Dean, Salzburg and Honorary Indians. Is actually on the journey from Vienna to India. Thanks to him Andi and I now know almost everything about Shiva, the right yoga and why drug smuggling is not worthwhile. Good luck with the Pakistan crossing now!
Andi, lucky Libero of a championship leader team near Weilheim. Convinced city planner and the only one who could tell us herbivores about the quality of the local meat. Maybe fun island hopping and then back to work!
Thanks for your stamina with me and let's see, when my German this Bavarian-Viennese mixture is going on again ...
