money. So by 10:00, we had our bitch and he, as usual had ripped us off. We were on our way to Bisotun. As we pulled in, he did not want to accept my money. He wanted double to take us back. Fuck that, he had ripped us off enough. I wanted someone else to rip us off. So we told him to piss off, and off we walked. We passed the little Hercules statue and moved on. Saw the old ancient script next, so only the rock carvings remained. We rounded the corner, camera in hand. I snapped a few. Looked for the scaffold, I was ready to climb, but the fucking thing was not there. I broke down and cried, well not for the first time. Lucy was embarrassed, so she hid. We went up to as close as we could. They were building a new scaffold for the Infidels and Extremists to climb, but it was not ready. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. We started speaking to an Extremist and he said he would drive us to Taq-E Bostan. The local rock carvings. Cool. As we were getting into his car, our old taxi driver scum was waiting fir us. We waved him goodbye, and off we drove in an air-conditioned car. Even better. He dropped us off at the gates and in we went. There are three rock carvings here. Pretty impressive with one looking like Luke Skywalker with his light sabre. Another shows some guy defeating an enemy, whilst the last one has a Zoroastrian god, Mazda, blessing some guy.May be a Japanese guy. We were not sure. We had lunch in this traditional place where you sit down, and a middle aged beggar with crutches came round asking for money. We ignored him, and once he had finished with our restaurant, he put the crutches under his arm, and ran up the stairs. Scumbag !!! We talked to a few girls who were studying English, as everyone seems to do here, and then we decided to leave. Around the corner, we found a bus with our good friend se gre ga tion. Jesus, he is popular in this country !!!

That was basically it. We had seen enough. We could not get to where we wanted to go to next, so we have decided to go to Tehran.
