Azerbaijan

1st Visit

Whilst waiting for the ferry from Turkmenistan to dock in Baku the Russian TV news showed CNN coverage of 'America Under Attack'. We all recognised that this was a major event and many wanted to go home. Despite being surrounded by land ruined by the quest for oil Baku itself is an attractive city; enjoyed watching the beautiful people parade in the main square. The journey to Georgia was very scenic; we left the arid coastal plain and drove into the lush green hills. We stayed in a beautiful caravanserai that is now a hotel in Sheki.
