Travels in Armenia – day 1 Yerevan

I was on a small group tour of Armenia and Georgia with Explore. It was excellent with the best tour guide I have had and who became a very good friend

So here I am in Armenia. Arrived in the early hours of the morning. Checked into the hotel and given a room key. Opened the door and there was a man already in bed. Sure i didn’t order that on room service. Breakfast was interesting. There were the normal cereal, hams and cheeses and eggs. To acconpany it there were hot dogs, a type of pizza, fried chicken and noodles. Had a city tour tour and had so much information my brain feels like it’s going to explode. Information overload. She’s obviously very proud of her country and its achievements. First stop was a monastery which is unfortunately under construction. There is a huge focus on religion here and there is a great emphasis on Armenia founding the first Christian state. There are churches and monasteries everywhere. We had a very interesting visit to the ruins of a Christian temple.
