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). Georgia was next in line after having done Armenia with Tbilisi only some 3 hours drive from the Armenian border. The previously lawless capital ha been cleaned up over the last couple of years. The Georgian cuisine and the wines were excellent. After a few days in the capital I continued up the "Russian military highway" up to Kazbegi (5047 meters) having to cover the last steep route with military 4-wheel drive vehicles. After many more interesting stops and visits going down along the South Ossetian border (controlled by Russia today) we continued to Gori - the birthplace of Stalin. The main objective was now to locate Mrs. Zjuzuna Natadze who lived in the tiny village of Ateni. She is known for her private collection of Stalin memorabilia. The memories from this visit to her home will always stay with me. See travel report (left) and the video under separate Video-section.
