Around lake Sevan

Despite the massive thunderstorms in the night, the tent is dry in the morning. Todays mission is to cycle around to the other side of the lake. We have dramatic lighting as yet more storms pass over the mountains on the far side. Its largely flat so the miles pass a little quicker. Plus there are many flower-strewn meadows between us and the lake to enjoy.

We pitch in some trees not far from the lake but the lake-side is not in a good state - so no swimming or washing in the lake tonight. Just after we are pitched, Alain takes the road again to collect water... just when another storm arrives! He gets soaked and bombarded, while Alice holds on, with the wind squishing the tent and ripping out guy ropes. When we emerge to breathe, there are piles of hailstones around the tent. It clears enough for us to sit out and eat, and then it’s another round of wind and rain as we hole up for the night.Baca lagi
