Tueday 4th March

Took about 5 hours to cross the Turkish Iranian border. All the girls had to put on the headscarves and berkhas, we stood out we all had bought bright colours whilst the locals were wearing black so we got a lot of stares. We got an Iranian guide called Valy who stays with us throughout the country. Stayed in a hotel in Tabriz, we were told that we should only go out in groups and we needed a guy with us but a group of us still got stalked by a random man for about 15 mins but apart from brushing against one girls bum he didn't really do any harm. Found all the clothes to be quite hot which got annoying especially as I could only take it all off in my hotel room.
