Mt Ararat, biblical-proportioned beacon of the world resuming to normal after the Lord's big bathtub haul-in.
Nearby locals affirmed that the ark was still there! It's a sin to miss this awesome sight...
Standing here, I can't believe that it's all coming down to this after two odd months. Turkey is an unbelievable paradise. Locking away cherished memories that were born throughout the entire time here, I know I'll return some day to build upon them.
So join me now as we step onwards into the Islamic Republic of Iran! Speed and bumps, radicalism through loud banging Persian pop music, labyrinths of bazaars, the elusive eggplant meal, throw in an earthquake, odd lunch hours, great expectations (and with it, comes great disappointments), ghost towns and the most precious Shiite shrines and perhaps, least understood people around. Get your seatbelts on, turbulence forecast ahead!
