Iran
Back in the years 2006 and 2007, I managed a company where we decided to set-up an assembly production facility in Teheran, Iran. This meant a few trips to the capital of Iran. I unfortunately did not have time to see anything of this supposedly beautiful country filled with amazing architectural sites. The few shots are from a mobile phone hence the poor quality. There is a trip penciled in my travel-plans hopefully in the not so distant future. My main takeaway from these trips are the hard-working, dedicated and friendly people.

The first leg of doing the "Silk road trail" started with Armenia, Georgia and Azerbadijan (The Caucasus). Covering the capital, Yerevan with its blue Mosque and thereafter a drive up to the temple of Sun at Garni, Monestary of Spear and Geghard Monestary from the 13th century. The trip continued via Mount Ararat, which today is on the Turkish side of the border (under dispute), to Sevanavank and Ketcharis up in the mountains. We passed by the old capital Eimiatzin and joined for Sunday mass and then continued up the highest mountain in Armenia: Mount Aragatz at ca: 3500 meter. After having spent the night at a farmhouse in the village of Akner (freezing cold - so we had to drink a lot of armenian brandy) we also visited the two famous monasteries: Sanahin and Haghpat. Haghpat being the national symbol. See also the video under separate Video-section.
