Last gate to pass...

before I'm heading across the Persian Gulf and over Iran to Tehran. It is very early in the morning and I have been awake now since 2:17 am. From my hotel here at the airport in Dubai, I had to embark on a true endeavour to find my way around this truly huge airport. It took more than one hour to get from A to B.well, now I'm here, so let's see how long time Air Dubai will let us wait before boarding.

An awesome trip starts with?

For many years I've had a wish to go to visit Iran. 

Now it is Easter holiday and finally I've taken the necessary step and done something about it. I've booked myself on a flight to Dubai and tomorrow morning from Dubai to Tehran..

I have a nice - but in a way also a bit uneasy - feeling about it all, and not sure what to expect other than adventure. 

All on my own. 

Kind of. That means, at some point I will be picked up by some kind and nice people in Theran and will get a man introduction to Iranian life by being invited to their house for a couple of days. But before that I'll have to settle in for two days in a Tehran hotel, somewhere in that huge city of 9 million.
