Travel Diaries; The Beauty of Iran
In a blog post a few months ago, I already told you that I traveled to Iran in October 2016 and that I was absolutely fascinated by this country. People were incredibly warm-hearted, open-minded, friendly and extremely interested in meeting us foreigners from Europe. I spent three weeks traveling through Tehran, Kashan, Esfahan, Mesr (there we stayed in a beautiful lodge in the desert) and Yazd. Also we spent one night in a Caravanserei somewhere between Kashan and Esfahan.
I was fascinated by the hospitatilty of the Iranians, the food and all the beauty that I saw while traveling through this fascinating country. So for now I will just share a few photos with you from my trip so you can experience a bit of my Iranian travel feeling as well! Enjoy your virtual trip!
These photos were all takes with my iPod touch and edited in VSCO. I might upload some photos as well into another blog post that I took with my DSLR camera and that I will edit in Photoshop then. So here we have iPhonography.
Delicious Persian breakfast at Barandaz Lodge in Mesr, Iran. Eggs with cinammon, dates, small cucumbers, feta cheese, homemade bread, halwa, carrot jam, sour cherry jam. Seriously, one of the best breakfasts I have eaten in my whole life!
Barandaz Lodge, Mesr, Iran
Here breakfast, lunch and dinner was served. It was pretty much like an outdoor living room. Barandaz Lodge, Mesr, Iran

Inside a mosque in Esfahan, I don't remember anymore which mosque though.

One of the famous buildings in Kashan, but I don't remember which one - also my Lonely Planet got stolen at Barandaz Lodge and that was were I made a cross at every place where we stayed, ate, visited...so that loss made me very sad.

Solo parking in the Northern neighborhood of Tehran where we stayed. It was a bit far out but a very nice area, pretty quiet and really a suburb where people live, buy their groceries and go our for dinner and tea.
Tehran, the street where our hostel was.
Naderi Café in Tehran, there are many cats, it is very sweet. And the cake and coffee was pretty good as well. Cat lovers, head to this place, you won't be disappointed!
Spices at the bazar in Northern Tehran, Tajrish Bazar. From there we drove up even further to Damavand.
Azari Teahouse, Tehran. Delicious cusine from Azerbaijani cuisine. We ate kebap and Dizi, a traditional stew from vegetables and meat. Everything there tasted amazing!
