Hopelessly tired...

It was just after 3AM I went to bed in a hotel room in Bushehr. It took us hours to finish the feeding and I also had to send some voices for the report I had proposed to Tokyo.
Waking up after three short hours of sleep, I was very drowsy but the morning chai gave me just enough strength to get to the airport again meeting many of my colleagues that spent the night. (They looked more fresh! I'm sure they had a nice dinner!)


time I went to bed...


teatime! at 6AM!


and breakfast!


last look of the streets of Bushehr...


the nearby square...


and the airport!

In the plane I was so groggy that I felt the flight was just a ten minute ride!


fly away!


back to Tehran...

In the afternoon, I attended a funeral service of a relative of my staff and worked a bit in my office as the drowsiness got worse and worse...

It was around six o'clock in the evening that I couldn't resist going to bed... never to wake up again this day... (obviously I'm writing this later on... well I think my memory is correct about this day!)

PS
In the garden...

it was now a battle of three cats to get the food!

Nuclear adventure!

After going to bed right after midnight, it was already time to wake up... With my cameraman I left the office at around 4:30 in the morning and joined a pack of journalists at the Mehrabad Airport. After about an hour and a half flight we reached the southern city of Bushehr and found out there were more of my colleagues waiting there for the tour into one of the most important sites for this country.


a pic from outside the site... for security reasons I won't paste the ones I took inside!

We were there all day as the press conference ended at nearly 5PM and my troubles continued as the feeding process we were planning did not work out... We had to skip dinner and fight our way to finish our task... This is our job and I really don't want any surprises...


in the street of Bushehr... colder than I thought here!
