This is a live blog post. It’s also without doubt my quickest and shortest blog post EVER!! I make no apologies for it. We are in Tabriz in Iran and got our 30 day visa so will aim to try and use the full amount. We crossed the border yesterday from Gurbulak to Bazargan.
Backpacking in Tabriz, Iran – the Blue Mosque.
This means I’ll be offline for most of December. There is no Wi Fi in most places in this country and using internet cafes costs a bit and is beyond our current daily budget!
Crossing the Turkey to Iran border from Gurbulak to Bazargan.
Certain websites are also blocked including the BBC, Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and You Tube, so my blog is the best place to catch me! I will attempt reply to ALL e-mails when I can. It could be in 4 weeks time, but I’ll reply.
Arrival in Iran with a 30 day visa at Bazargan.
I have a few scheduled posts going up on here and my usual Facebook daily posts.
In the meantime Merry Christmas to all my readers and I look forward to getting online again after Iran to write 1,000 more stories from recent trips!
From the Deniz Internet Cafe in Tabriz,
Safe travels,

I’ve heard trying to use the internet in Iran can be painful – so enjoy your time off, and looking forward to reading all about your adventures there later! Have fun!

Thanks Sam – enjoying the time off line but checking every few days for the price of $1 US per hour so it’s not a bank breaker, but slow and loads of sites are blocked. Luckily Don’t Stop Living is allowed in Iran, yeah!! Can’t wait to write about it all, but we’re going to use our entire 30 day visa here. Longest time I’ve spent in one country for about 2 years I think would you believe!! Safe travels. Jonny
Merry Christmas to you too Maria and safe travels and happy Yuletide. Jonny
Thansk Ray – never heard of it and can’t find it online here (internet is slow and restricted in Iran) but will check it in January! Safe travels. Jonny
Thanks Adam – we seem to have been in all the same countries recently, at different times, crazy! Off to Iraq in about 4 weeks after Iran. Safe travels. Jonny
