Various Places, Various pics! II Northern Exposure




On their way to India, Olivier and Romain became my companions for the south caspian coast trip, (and later for Isfahan, Yazd2 and Shiraz) Very nice guys, we experianced a rocky start because of the locals in Farah Abad but as we went westward the trip became better. (To be explained later)





Sun set over Caspian Sea at Fereydon Kenar(We wanted o go to Khezershahr, but it is a private, all exclusive, all Khafan place so we went one city over)




The walk in the Forest of Sisangan after enjoying the warm waters of Caspain Sea (In Farsi the lake is actually named after the Khezers probably the Huns or Russians) we wanted to get some experiance of the nature of MAzandaran province but for 20 minutes we heard the road and after 20 minutes then we came to another road and after passing that and the fence that was to keep people and wild animals seperate we walked for another 30 minutes and finally came out under power line which made us give up on getting away from Humans and go back to the main road.




The road to Masoleh, the green forest make the mind wonder about the Fall.





We got to the little village that people that is relatively well known around the world. This has changed the village its a bit bigger, the walls are newer. at the at the local cafe we were surrounded by maily Russians, and flanked by a German couple and behind us was a very snobby English boy from Brighton. In the allies (its actually more correct to say in the stairs) we passed too many Koreans and Japanese. The crowding of the village has changed its looks, as Olivier put it everywhere they make the same mistake, people come to see something but then the point of interest is changed so much that people stop coming.

What sort of trouble was there in Farah Abad, with the locals? The place sounds like quite a tourist hot spot.

It's true that the places get so changed that the people stop coming, but it seems that more often, the people come and change the place to be like their home.. they want all the things they left back at home in the tourist spot. So actually, that only makes more tourists want to come, but the only reason that the tourists keep coming, is because there tourists already came. Hopefully that makes some sense. It's rather a convolouted explination, because I'm tired.
