For the last three days I am again stuck in Mashhad as Turkmen consulate hasn’t issued me a transit visa yet. They have asked me to come back tomorrow again, which turns out be my last day on Iranian visa as well.
Yesterday I went to a bicycle shop to get my bicycle repaired, and today I spent my day with a Aya from Japan and Vera from Switzerland. We first went to the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, and later enjoyed tea and sweets at the exceptionally well traditional tea-house named Hazardastan.
“I am not a marketing man. I run this tea-house because I have a passion for it”, he told.
