3:30PM We came back to the hotel. I was nauseous from all the greasy food yesterday. I slept for about an hour.

6:30PM Our evening included a taxi ride to the ancient bridge, where we took some photos. I had a Kebab Hosseni for dinner at the famous Shahrzad Restaurant. I also had trouble with the hotel toilet, which required changing rooms. I just asked for the keys for the room closeby. This led to frequent bathroom trips to the room next door during the night at 11:30PM, 12:30AM, 1:30AM, 5AM, keeping me awake until morning and right before we left for Yazd.
