for them to be like this !!! We ended up at Alexanders Prison. Some say that there used to be a prison here, whilst others say that there wasn't. It was ok wandering around. We also visited another mausoleum/Mosque thingy. It was ok as well. Right next door was the tourist information. We went in as we wanted to book a trip to see a load of siters around the area. We waited our turn, and as We were up next, an Extremist tried to push in. Lucy butted as the tourist information Extremist was going to serve his own kind. I was all set to give him a mouthful, when he realised he was wrong, and he spoke to Lucy instead. We booked our trip with him and then went back to our hotel. We met up with a Spanish girl who was going to go to the Towers of Silence to watch the sun go down. These are towers where the Zoorastrians used to leave their dead so that they could be eaten by the local vultures. We arranged an Extremist taxi to drop us Infidels off and to pick us up. The Extremist drove like a mad man. Being in the front, I shat myself once again !!! We arrived and looked up on the hill, and we saw the towers. They were like huge water tanks !!! So wqe climbed up and assumed our positions. The sunset was very impressive and once over, we came down. The Extremist taxi driver drove like an idiot again, nearly having numerous accidents. Dinner was had on the roof as our Dutchie friends had invited us up for a home cooked meal of pizza. It went down a treat and for the first time in Iran, I found myself hankering for a beer. A bit sad, but I really need one !!!

We were up early as we had a driver coming to pick us up for our huge tour of the area. As to be expected, the Extremistr was late. Off we drove and as usual, our talk was about religion and politics. He wanted George to come and visit with his boys. We told him he was an idiot and did not know what he was talking about. Our first stop on the tour was in Meybod. ...
