We finished our breakfast, got all the paperwork ready and left for Iranian Embassy. It was a 10-15 minute drive. We reached and approached a counselor, we passed them our approval codes and to our surprise they replied that they have not received confirmation on any of our approval codes. They told us that nothing can be done unless they receive the confirmation and they were going to close as their work hours are only till 1200 hrs.

The guys at Iranian Embassy were very supportive and helpful, one counselor who was dealing with us took our number in case they need to contact us, we took his number as well. Now began countless calls between Aarti and Travel Agent in Uzbekistan (whose services we have been using to get approvals from few countries), we checked again in another hour and Iranian Embassy confirmed that they have received approval code for me but not Aarti. We thought lets apply for mine at-least and will see if we can apply for Aarti's from any other country. We requested the Embassy guys and they were kind enough to accept my application after work hours (very sweet of them).

By the time we reached there, Aarti's approval had arrived as well and we were all happy. Catch was that they would need a day to process the Visa, so we had to stay another day in Frankfurt and we were more than happy to do so :-)

Went back to the parking and settled there for sometime as i had to take some office calls. While we were sitting there, one Uncle Ji approached us and asked if we were from India. Chit chat happened and he was sweet enough to offer us Tea, to which we jumped with a BIG yes. He brought us the tea and it was one of the best tea's we have had in recent times and the snacks were super yummy as well.

He invited us to his house, and we spent good 10+ minutes with his family. Goes without saying that he saw "Comedy Nights With Kapil" sticker on the car and approached us, so obviously he was a Kapil Fan and we did our customary Fanpage photo shoot (featured image) :-)

Mrs. & Mr. Surinder Pabla's warmth and hospitality brightened up our day and we went up and checked into Radisson Blue Hotel (click to read review) to go on with the rest of the day. I had quite some work from office, so started clearing my backlog and spent rest of the day inside.

For dinner we explored one of the Hotel's restaurant and it was a great dining experience :-)
