2 Trucks, 9 Cars, 2 Metros and a Bus

Hello,

After that rather despondent blog, I thought I would spend a few lines on the positives

Armenia has...

The best apricots about. Also its water melon season so been having plenty of them as well.

The reddest tomatoes which taste a thousand times better than British ones.

Some of the best canyon's, there's even one in the Capital. All which have there brilliant monastries perched in precarious places.

The genocide is an excellent museum (not biast just factual, which is very refreshing after most national museums you ever go to!)

This is to name but a few things.

Carolyn and my exodus from the country was a little hitch hiking adventure hence the title of this blog.

11am leave hostel

1.05pm first lift out of Yerevan

2.20pm fourth lift, but two nice guys, buy us lunch and as always give us vodka, happy to get out of their car after this(the driver was drinking too)

5.00pm stop in Spitak - where there is a boat in the middle of the town (very much not a coastal city though!)

6.55pm eight lift - get taken cheese shopping and make very little distance! Very nice people though

7.30pm Make it to the border! Carolyn gets chatted up by all the passport control men, we walk straight through. Also we gain an hour so 6.30pm georgian time

8.10pm eleventh lift - a friendly taxi driver takes us for free

8.50pm Night has fallen and we take a bus to the metro

The metro is identical in Yerevan and Tbilisi down to the clock on the wall

10.15pm (11.15pm armenian time) we arrive at our hostel the owner is called 'Nazi'

I'm in Georgia, heading to Azerbaijan
