Armenia

Wonderful, calm, relaxed. Armenia is again a country of two halves, the very poor country and the modern, progressive Yerevan with people getting on like in cities all over the world.

Day 53 – 29th May 2014 Batumi

I slept in then sat outside a cafe drinking coffee until midday in the sun watching life go by. The women here are beautiful. I think I’ll stay for at least 3 days and relax, enjoy the beach, sun and life. Garth and I went to the beach in the afternoon and later in the […]
