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.
