HOT! in Muscat, Oman

Even though Bruce comes from a tropical country, he still finds the weather hot in May. 

But he still trek round the city...the clock tower...















And loitering around the Al Alam Royal Palace


The city is a good place to stroll in the later afternoons..

Beautiful traditional houses in Kashan, Iran



Kashan is about 2 hours ride from Tehran.   Bruce likes Tabatabei Historical House: beautiful. 







Bruce was met with curious looks and had many taking photos with him. He of course had a chance to pose with a sweet Iranian girl at Fin Garden.

Trekking to Tehran, Iran...


bkgrd: Holy Shrine of Imran Khomeni

After some effort, Bruce stepped into Tehran, Iran.  He was under the weather but the warmth of the people made up for the little setback. 

One of the places he visited was the Holy Shrine of Imran Khomeni.









And the Golestan Palace was marvellous.  



And the journey continues...
