Shiraz teeth good, Esfahan teeth bad !!! We walked around until we came to the usual Jameh Mosque. As usual, it was quite colourful. We moved on and found the usual mausoleum which was covered in mirrors everywhere. This time, Lucy had to wear a chador and there was also a singer singing all of the Extremists favourites. Apparently, it was one of the Imam's birthdays, so there was a huge gathering. Being good Extremists, they started to pass cakes around, and being the only Infidels, we were invited to feast on cake. These guys were going to go to paradise !!! The day was closing fast, so we made our way to the local travel agent and booked a trip to see the Passport Police. The premier ruins of this Extremist country

Up bright and early, we were on the bus at 08:00 and away we went. First stop was to see some tombs. The bus was full of Extremists and Infidels, this was going to be a good day. Along the way, the guide told us that today, we were going to learn that Shiraz was the greatest city in the world. Obviously he had never been out of his own country as we all know that this title belongs to Skopje !!! We arrived at the tombs at Naqsh-E Rostam. They were very impressive and similar to the carvings at Petra. There were also some rock carvings underneath them, plus an old tower. The guide was doing his guidey type job, he had the Infidels on his own and he had managed to fob the Extremists to someone else. Then it happened. His phone rang, and he trailed off and was more interested in his phone. He stopped and then a text came through, then another call. I was getting agitated. No. I was getting FUCKING agitated. We finished the tombs and took some photos. It was then I thought it was best to have some words. I said, look sunshine, either you turn that fucking phone off or I am going to ram it up your fucking arse !!! He said he did not understand. So with hand movements, showing him where I would jam his phone, he reluctantly turned it off. We both smiled and went on our way ! We moved onto Persopolis. At one stage, it was the biggest city in the world. A lot of it is wrecked, but it is still very impressive. The reliefs were unbelievable. I have even worked out why all these gay (and I mean every man in this line) Extremists hold hands. On the reliefs, it shows them holding hands !!! Maybe they are not gay and I am holding something inside. But being an Infidel, there is no way I am going to hold another guys hands !!! The site is good, we took loads of photos and it was time to move on. The guide turned on his mobile phone, and we were all happy again.

That was Shiraz, over and done with. We went to buy a bus ticket as we wanted to go to Yazd, but we were unable to get one, so we are going back to Esfahan, and I can tell you this, there is no fucking way, I am going to stay at the Amir Kabir Hostel again !!!
