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.

Having planned and prepared for this Sahel journey including four countries in the Southern parts of Sahara for over one year - C.A.R. was first excluded and then later included. Checking all travel advice web-sites it is highly advised to stay away from this country all together. We eventually decided to give a go. It was only 2 month earlier when there were fightings inside of Bangui - the capital. We attended mass on Palm Sunday in Bangui - an incredible celebration and treat to witness. We also travelled outside of Bangui to the Bovali waterfalls in the countryside and stopped along the way to see some of the local villages. We distributed footballs and numbered shirts at one place - which was much appreciated. I have decided to come back to C.A.R. to do the Dzanga Sangha National Park in the south bordering to Cameroon. Hope to do so in 2018. The wildlife is supposed to be spectacular. Here it is also possible to visit the illusive BaAkha pygmies.
