Review of the owner of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150-Series-a journey. A strange and incomprehensible thing is, is this a trip to the south of Armenia? The south – the colder? This is the situation with the weather. It was cool yesterday! ))) And so each yesterday was more cool))) the choir virap, it is clear to everything that we caught in cloudy mood.

Murmansk – Armenia October 2018 with one eye))

A strange and incomprehensible thing is, is this a trip to the south of Armenia? The south – the colder?
This is the situation with the weather. It was cool yesterday! ))) And so each yesterday was more cool))) the choir virap, it is clear to everything that we caught in cloudy mood. Ararat did not open in the morning, rinse all night with a downpour, still at the VA Hotel, Masis. But what – what, so we still caught the positive impressions of visiting the monastery. Neither cloudy, nor even a peasant at the monastery, pinned to us, launching pigeons into the sky, persistent and stubborn, even tired))) But the guy in souvenirs was glad to our purchases))) a mug and a magnet – this is a holy one)) )
Uh, what am I talking about, distracted …
In general, the monastery of the choir virap is very interesting, a beautiful place in any weather. You can walk to look and as it were … does not press something, a very calm place. You can sit on a bench and think endlessly and dream of good))) If it weren’t for a rainy cloud, which all the same tightened the dark sky and broke through, driving us into the car and pushing us further to the south of Armenia. Without losing hope and not understanding how this could be so fucking all the way with the weather. We try to get to, perhaps further … direction of tatev …

The village of Arden, places of winemakers passed. They did not buy drinks, it is not clear what to take and what to try not to leave the steering wheel and there is no way to stay in the alcoholic pairs of Bahus and to highly clog the bolt to move along these wonderful asphalt coatings of Armenia roads. Although this method of movement would be soft, but dangerous before the first turn of the hairpin))). Without reaching the point of throwing – he was already embarrassed by SUV))) Such is the coverage of roads, endless piles and shortages of shortcoming. One joy, they left the rain, and the beauty of the passes, the boundless expanses of the mountains.

So, slowly and Lugonka reached the Echegonadzor. At the left on the left, we noticed and as it turned out a great place for food Fudkort, there is a wifi))) here we surrendered! ! ! I realized that it was not realistic to conduct further struggle with bad weather. We look at the forecast, all kapets! ! ! Rain, -one of the weather gods, looked from above and thought little and we need snow))) the prognosis is not comforting, tatev -snow, icy rain, -3 at night to -6 ((here there is a bell of mlin … well, maybe not on For a long time? We’ll leave it for Jermuk so far? But there is still no, our pond does not work here))) This whole cyclone moves and clings everything down to the Yeghonadzor! Wat and Fak Men? Gow Gow …

Gow Gow decides to go through the Selimsky pass, until it was covered. Well, we are moving to the spare position. Martuni direction – Sevan – Yerevan …
Before the pass, we refuel DT a little more expensive than in the north, 480 dramm = 1l.

Ha, surprisingly, but the roads are in Armenia, it turns out to eat))) From Yeghonadzor to Martuni, quite a good asphalt! (And now sitting at home in the north, this pass is shown in the drawer, the road through it was made with the money of an American billionaire of Armenian origin, Kirk Kirkoryan))) About how!
Yeah, the fog closed the views and rain soaked our desire to inspect the Selimsky caravansrari. I can only imagine the beauty of this road and there is a great desire to drive this path again, only now in the opposite direction! ! !
So we drove up to Lake Sevan. Met us in the weather, gloomy mood and excitement. This is not a trouble for the Severyanin, Zalihvatsky’s mood to test Sevan’s waters with swimming))) Ha ha ha said the lake and released the dog from the bushes, started to bark and scare us))) I had to feed her some supplies of food and delicious pies. While he was busy with the dog, my fought quickly faded, the plus to this was the water like a barrel of the sea, he went knee -deep and seduced from happiness)))

We arrived in Yerevan late in the evening. Www.booking.com/hotel/am/….uesthouse-yerevan.ru.html was in advance-as always, an excellent guest house, price-quality and indescribable hospitality, communication with the manager, you are the best, thank you!

We settled down, book a couple of days, lay down tired of resting to rest … We get up in the morning, and here … Yo-May …

So what to wait, go ahead, try to see at least something, Yerevan! ! !

Yerevan is a beautiful, kind, tasty, awesome city! ! !
Eh, we still stay on the day. We need a small mental rest, and recover before a long return.
I turned the story about the rest for a reason. The point here, my spouse, began to cover and press the pressure, increased. It seems like it was from entry to Armenia – it is the highest country of Transcaucasia. Over 90 % of its territory, which is approximately 29,800 km², is at an altitude of more than 1000 m, about half – at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, and only 3 % of the territories lie below the mark of 650 m (the Wikipedia issues such a certificate) I even had to run around the pharmacies Cities in search of appropriate drugs, as there were difficulties in acquiring originals, in the accessibility of the supply of analogues and substitutes. Thank you so much for the help provided, Lilith, did not abandon and helped in a difficult situation.
They turned a little, settled down, his health returned and even allowed him to travel to the temple of Garni, the Gargard monastery and see the basalt organ.

Garni's gorge, this is an amazing beautiful canyon, I would call, passes along the river Azat. We must go down into it from the north-west before entering Garni, but we drove in the opposite direction from the side of the Gegard at the entrance to Garni and therefore rose from the gorge.Gow Gow decides to go through the Selimsky pass, until it was covered.

We return to the hotel in the evening. That's it, rest, healthy sleep, tomorrow we leave. The spouse must be taken out, something shakes her in the country of high mountains (((
