Met a German couple who were on their way to Garreh Teppeh Sheikh for a horse riding holiday waiting for their train to Gorgan at Rah Ahan Sq. They were quite taken with the "Play Park for Adults". So was I. :)

On the way back into town we shared a taxi with a young couple.The guy said he met me before. I said it was unlikely since I had only been to Tehran a couple of times, not been to Tochal before and its a massive city. He said he was talking to me and that it was in November 2006 (indeed when I was there). I didnt remember him. Spooky!! :eek:

None of your diet nonsence here!:

Thanks for the amazing pics Herbicide. I hope enjoyed ur stay!

ROFL at the hotel policy, what a friggin embarrassment, first they say Moeny then Monye haha. They should learn how to spell first!

absolutely awesome, i love tehran with all its gd n bads :):):cheers:

Very good photos - But please don't say "Farsi" when talking about the language of Iran. Use "Persian" instead! (Thanks!)

Hey Herbicide at least your camera worked for a little while of your stay this time! lol...

The car is on display outside the bank probably because it is the bank's top raffle price... However I don't know why it's on shoddy scaffolding :lol:

Thanks for sharing the pics! Where else did you go?

I went to Gorgan, Gonbad e Kabus, Mashhad, Bandar e Abbas, Esfahan, Tehran again, Tabriz and then back to Istanbul. I had a good time and caught up with people I met last time but there was loads more stuff I wished I could take pictures of.

Fantastic pictures...!!!
:D

Lovely pictures and tour. Thanks for sharing :)
