Wailing Wall - mayhem. Followed by a visit to The Dome of the Rock

| A short internal plane
flight in Iran to Persepolis & Shiraz. Trace (right - wearing
required clothing in 90 degree sun) above with some locals. The
flight attendant greeted us at 7am with "goodnight",
followed at 6pm with "good morning". The flight
was so short they hadn't served breakfast before we were coming
into land - some irrate gentleman shouted, "but I haven't
finished my tea" and we promptly rose to do another lap
at such an incline that Glynns coffee ended up in his lap - he was
not amused - but we were. |

in her swimming gear!. This was actually a westernized beach -
they had locked & bolted 2 steel doors behind us. The snorkelling
was some of the best we've ever experienced.
