The prettier side to Esfahan

Although Simon is right that there is evidence of nose jobs all over Esfahan there is also a much prettier side to the city. Here are a few pics from some of the most beautiful mosques in the world.










Esfahan is also home to some very cool bazaars.




And bridges.





We also had lovely walk along the river bank where we met this family from Shiraz who asked us to join them for some tea. Tea turned into three hours of hand gesture communication and a shared picnic lunch with them.

Thats so cool, only when travelling do you randomly end up hanging out with and eating food with people who you cant even talk to... beautiful. I suppose it's like some old patient dude said to me "we're told people are bad but basically everyone is very nice and will help pick up your shopping" err well ok not quite the same... but still you get the idea. Like I said, it's cool
