Travel story - North of Iran - part two

Lets continue the story.
We left the Kelardasht to go to Abbasabad. We rented a villa there. Though on the way, we got a problem with the car. The mechanic said repairing it completely would take 4-6 hours which probably meant we could't used the car until tomorrow. After consulting with a mechanic friend, we just patched the leak and headed to Abbas-abad after about 3-4 hours.
While the car was at the repair shop we were in a park preparing lunch. The park was ridiculous. There was a fence around the park and it had an entry fee. There were just naturally grown trees around the river and the fee was practically for nothing. In Isfahan (and many other cities) much bigger and better parks don't have any entry fee. But it was the only park in the city and we didn't have any other option.

In north of Iran you don't need to water the land to grow plants and trees, just leave it to the land.

Next morning, waking up early, i decided to take a walk along side the beach. Though definitely it was worth the effort, but deciding to not getting up and leaving the house when you can get more sleep in a warm place is always hard, maybe one of the biggest challenge of the humanity. lol

The scene was better than what I expected. The stones with those green plants grown on them were beautiful and the cloudy sky made a long exposure possible without any ND filter. Though I didn't have my tripod with me, but I tried hard and got few 1-2 second exposure shots that were satisfying.

Further away someone was fishing and... what did you expected me to do? I just took some photos.

After that i sat on a bench, watching the sea not knowing what to do next. It started to rain but it was over soon.
After about an hour, my sister, my brother and his wife and son joined me. They came in a pretty good time, i had enough time alone and i was getting bored. My nephew was the motivation for taking more photos. But family photos are for family,, not anybody.

After the beach walk, it was time to decide where to eat lunch. Main meals are one of the most important part of most Iranian, if not the most important. So businesses related to eating are mostly successful in Iran.
My brother knew a famous restaurant close to where we were. The food was good and the place beautiful, but anyway i hated (better say disliked) being there, because i think we pay to much attention to eating and spend much money on it
which in the long run brings us illness and fatness.

After lunch we wanted to go to the beach again (but not the same place). Because the beach area is not managed in a proper way it was hard to find a free beach. we were looking for about 30-45 minutes and finally we found one.

After spending some time near the beach, looking at the waves and listening to them it was time to leave. Next destination was Amol, where my brother has a friend...
