Bandar-Abbas


I think it's the time describing Bandar-Abbas for those who were asking past days:
It's a port landing beside Persian Gulf waters. Only this sentence can give you a picture of warm weather, nice beach, people who are sun bathing, tourist camps, sea handicrafts, local foods, .... but reality is only a big sigh.
 Actually we were in the best hotel and I think the only clean place of the port. Weather was warm so Rozana likes walking bare feet but whenever we were out I didn't feel good of her funny task because of dirtiness obvious everywhere. The beach wasn't as romantic as you except from any beach, it was smelling very bad and everywhere dirty. There were lots of ferries stayed beside port but poverty was more clearly.
On Tuesday we went to Gheshm Island by a sea bus. The experience of having a sea trip was really exciting. We registered on a tour for rounding the island and visited some parts. Because it was a station of Portugal years ago before invading Iran, there were lots of historical places to see... but beside these places I saw poverty again. Women are in a disastrous situation. I saw lots of very thin and young girls who were the mother of 2 or 3 kids, the kids also were thin. Comparing them with Rozana, I was shameful of this much cruelness and unfair.
Of course it's not my fault that they are poor but it's the governors who haven't been successful in job-producing or improving culture level or ....
 
Anyhow, being with Mehrdad and Rozana for 5 days was good
