We are in Kerman now, ready to leave for Shiraz by bus (55000 rials and 8 hours).
Kerman is a very nice village with almost no tourism after Bam earthquake...
Almost all tourists stay in our hotel: Akhavan, where the two brothers managing the place
speak good english and help arraging every kind of tour.
In the teahouse in the bazaar, we met an english speaking guide, Hosseini, who later brought us to wach some bizarre Iranian ritual sport, he organises trips to desert nere here...
Yesterday we went to see Mahan and Rayen, which have beatiful gardens and citadel and are a good reason to come here in spite of the fact that Bam has been destroyed.
We also saw Kaluts, which is an Iranian version of the monument valley.
Important!!! Yesterday night we discovered that the new LP editions of Iran has been published,
it must be really really recent because one month before leaving the only verision around was the one of 2004: probably all the mistakes we are listing have been corrected in this new edition.
After all it is not too hot, differently from what a few people told us.

How did you go from one place to the other ? Did you take a taxi for one whole day to visit all the attractions ?

Aaah aah (WOW) Lorenzo (and Guilia)! It is a pleasure to read your blog of travels in exotic places. Your blog reminded me of the novel by Amin Malouf "Samarkand" a histo-fiction regarding Omar Khayyam and his Rubayyat. You are close to the place, Neyshabur where Khayyam spent a big part of his life. From Rubayyat:
In spring if a houri-like sweetheart
Gives me a cup of wine on the edge of a green cornfield,
Though to the vulgar this would be blasphemy,
If I mentioned any other Paradise, I'd be worse than a dog
Enjoy your travels.

yes we rent a private taxi for all the attractions around Kerman...By the way the bus from Kerman to Shiraz costs 55000 rial and it takes 8-9 hours. The bus from Shiraz to Esfahan costs 50000 rial and it takes 7 hours. There buses almost every hours both from Kerman to Shiraz and from Shiraz to Esfahan.
Thanks for the infos, Julie.
By the time you reach Tehran, I hope you can tell me which city give the best price for shopping. Some say Shiraz. I would like to know your opinion.
Anita
