Kashan
Kashan on the edge of the Dasht-e Kavir, provided us with a day and a half of distractions on our way from Esfahan to Tehran.
We took in the wonderfully restored traditional houses and the beautiful Hammam-e Sultan Mir Ahmad, explored the bazaar and chartered a taxi to visit the village of Abyaneh.
The biggest difficulty for us in Kashan was finding somewhere to eat. We never did find the tripe soup place recommended to us by Hazel and Isabella. Instead we were forced to rely on depressing fast food and rather tasty fig rolls flavoured with saffaron.
