Lada Gaga is on the road
17 lipca 2017, Armenia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
After having our dear Lada Gaga delivered to the hostel, we headed off to Dilijan via monasteries at Garni and Gerghard.
Garni is from the 1st C BC and is the only of its kind in the region. Armenia had declared itself Christian in 300BC and was the first country to do so. What is left is in relatively good condition, it seems this is thanks to some USAID spent here and at Gerghard.

From there we headed up to Gerghard which is the current favourite when it comes to monasteries... and will be hard to beat! It is set in a cliffside with a whole network of caves. It was extremely busy and I realised I've forgotten what it's like to be surrounded by bus tours!

We stopped at Lake Sevan for lunch where there was another monastery on top of a hill on a spit on the lake. The lake is huge, accounting for 5% of Armenia's land surface. Czytaj więcej

Angela Marshall I have no idea about Armenia beyond the tragic 20th century genocide and the Kardashians, so my question comes from a place if deep ignorance - how come they were building monasteries and declaring themselves Christian when it is still BC?

Where once the children laughed
18 lipca 2017, Armenia ⋅ 🌬 23 °C
Yesterday we headed up to Dilijan, to discover that the b&b we booked is more like a homestay than the one in Alamut Valley! It's a lovely family who runs the place, Tom was immediately smitten when they took him up to their 'basins' to get some trout for the dinner BBQ! We've been plied with so much homegrown/made food, including a Linden leaf tea which I wish I could have all the time.
And today we've wandered around an abandoned amusement park, visited a lake and now we're just relaxing at the house. Czytaj więcej

Angela Marshall Isn't linden tea delicious? Sounds like a wonderful place to pause and unwind.

Angela Marshall Can't imagine what this ride did ... sad little funfairs are so odd.

Angela Marshall This looks like one of those rides that rely on centrifugal force to pin you to the outside circumference as it spins.
