(Istanbul 1250) So after 2 weeks of attempts back in the UK to get the Iranian Embassy in Frankfurt to issue our visas, which ended in failure on Thursday, we arrived in Istanbul last night with our hopes resting on the Iranian embassy in the Turkish capital. Over 4 hours this morning, our prospects have changed about every 5 mins. We've just been told to come back at 1500. We are faintly optimistic.....
(Istanbul 1640) we have our visas and now can fly tonight. After the Frankfurt fiasco, we weren't even finger printed. We'll be in Tehran in the early hours of tomorrow
