マシュハドを離れ、カスピ海を見てからテヘランへ向かう事に。 山を越えてゴレスタン州（Golestan）に入るとカスピ海の影響で緑が多い。 カスピ海近くでは水田も見かけ、同じイランでも随分違うものだなぁと感じる。 初日は橋の下でテント泊、翌日は Babolsar にてカスピ海を臨むコテージ （1泊90,000リアル。ガス水道、シャワーにベッドに冷蔵庫付き）に泊まる。 カスピ海を眺めていたら、テヘラン在住の夫妻に声を掛けられ、 お菓子や果物をお土産に頂く。（更にテヘランに着いたら連絡する様にと、 テレホンカードまでも！）
After Mashhad, I went to west to watch the Caspian sea. Pass over the mountain, there were many trees in Golestan province. Near Caspian sea area had some rice field. This area were different in Iran, like an another country. 1st day, I camped under the bridge. 2nd day, I stayed seaside cottage in Babolsar, it was like a apartment, very comfortable, and its coste was IR90,000. Before I arrived the cottage, I met man and wife. They live in Teheran, and he presented his phone number and telephone card! She presented some sweets and fruits. I could take Iranian people kindness.
