Back to Georgia

We finished our trip to Yerevan with a walking tour. Our guide told us about all the trouble with Russia and how parts of the country had been given away to Azerbaijan and Turkey, including mount ararat. The city is quite lovely with lots of places to eat and drink. There is no trouble as Police Officers can be found every few yards!!
We left Yerevan and camped by a lake en route back to Georgia. Heavy rain so we sat on the truck during the evening. The following day we were back through the Georgian border without incident and found another bush camp in a lovely spot. The weather here is quite wiered. Hot sun followed by gale force winds and frequent massive thunderstorms. We are however always surrounded by fantastic mountains. During the early hours we were joined by Jake, another crew member who will be returning back on the truck from India.
The following day we carried on into  even more spectacular country to a remote monestery where our guide had been married. Our resident Dane managed to catch a tortoise, lizard and large snake within 30 minutes. We set up in glorious sunshine before the wind picked up to gale force and the rain came.  The following morning found the truck side awning ripped from the side needing urgent attention, however, the toilet tent erected by myself still standing.  After urgent repairs we set off further towards Azerbaijan and our first home stay.  We have arrived inTevkavi and the three couples are in one house with the singlies in another. The house and rooms are fantastic with double beds and parquet floors, even a piano in the lounge. Gill has however already managed to flood the bathroom. Just off fgor a wade in thebathroom
