Ramsar to Rasht

IMG_3694

A group of MG enthusiast from the Iranian car club had driven from different parts of Iran to meet with us.  We met them for breakfast and then drove down to the edge of the Caspian sea for photo opportunities. It was a good gathering and and photos of all the cars were taken and a social time was had. We Drove to Rasht with morning tea on the river bank in town.

We arrived at the hotel by 1.30 and took a small mini bus to a pretty town in the mountain called Masouleh.IMG_3771 It is a town nestled between steep cliffs, originally a trading town between two larger cities. We walked up the steep steps to explore this town and make some purchases to help the local community!  While we were doing this, 3 cars were off being serviced and when we returned to the hotel at 6 the other 4 cars went to service.

ART dream

Wine and more architecture

Wine and More Wine – OleBilbao OLD and NEW Monday dawned sunny and warm and we headed down to the Guggenheim Museum, even though it is closed we wanted to relish the slick titanium skin, contrasted against the smooth pale limestone blocks. Everything glistened in the bright morning sun, reflections of the curved surfaces bounced off the water surrounding the metal walls and the metallic sculptures in the forecourts around the Guggenheim. Did you know that every surface in the building is curved and there are no straight lines thus emphasising the organic flowing lines of this magnificent Frank Gehry masterpiece Tomorrow we’ll visit this amazing museum along with our Silk Road companions Pat and David who we are travelling with around Spain and Portugal in our trusty MGs. Hop on and off buses have always been a favourite and quick way of acquainting ourselves with a city. We cruised around the narrow streets enjoying the views from the top deck. We were diverted by police a few times into the back streets because of a rally of thousands of people marching along the main thoroughfare of the city. Red, white and Green flags and banners waving, fire crackers exploding, releasing clouds of smoke. How We hopped off a The Mercado de la Ribera one of the largest fresh food markets in Europe and we arrived just in time for some Pintxos which we enjoyed with a beer and Sangria. So many delicious sweet and savoury munchies to choose from – what a treat!
