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.

Solomon Islands
The original plan was to fly in to Honiara, Solomon Islands, directly from Port Moresby, PNG. However, this route has been cancelled due to the Pandemic. I had to reroute and fly via Brisbane, Australia instead. This took a lot longer as I also had to stay over night in Brisbane and subsequently get a visa for Australia. Once in Solomon Islands, I had to change my plans of visiting the outer islands, as the previous rather regular and dependent transportation had been altered as well. This was however OK, as I found a lovely little beach house directly on the beach. I spent four full days here reading books, swimming and exploring the surrounding. I was the only visitor and the first foreign visitor since the Pandemic. Solomon Islands had only recently opened up after the Pandemic. I also spent time with a Swedish lady, Ann, who had married locally and lived on the island for now almost 16 years.
With a 4-day stop-over in Karachi, Pakistan, we only got a very short flavor of this bustling mega city. Huge pollution and overcrowded already back in 1990 when we made our short visit. Loved it however, and am now planning to come back for a more thorough visit to this 200 million country. We saw, during our short visit, a traditional cock-fight as well as the traditional fight between the Cobra and the Mungo. Again, these photos are only scanned copies of printed photos - hence the poor quality and slightly faded pictures.
