Where to exchange money?

I wouldn't suggest changing a big sum in the Airport. While walking in the city, you'll notice a lot of exchange points with better exchange rate.



About Armenia

Armenia is one of the most ancient countries in the world. The capital itself – Yerevan – is founded ...

... transportation. What he didn't say, of course, was that I'd need another bus from Marneuli to the border at Sadakho, and that once I got there, there'd be no onward transportation, which is exactly what happens. So I'm standing at the border of Georgia and Armenia with my hands in my pockets, trying to decide what to do next. There ARE taxi drivers, of course, so I won't be stuck, but I might be broke. Finally a bus comes through ...

... the Main (Cathedral) of Armenia, we are in awe, simply and utterly beautiful, huge, the first one we went into a chamber where there was a tomb of a woman who had been stoned to death, the stones were displayed as well!!! The day was perfect as we wandered around each church, Ediie the taxi driver stayed with the taxi and took the opportunity to smoke:) We were away around 5 hours and the taxi cost 8000 AMD which is ...

... s been very helpful, but worries a little too much about me being alone and keeps trying to lug me onto other travelers. I finally broke down and paid to have my laundry washed in a laundromat near the apartment (well, not really a laundromat, since you turn in the clothes and two days later they emerge magically cleaned and ironed). I've been handwashing, but at some point blue jeans just need to be in a washing machine to fully be rid of the knee high mud that ...

... traffic is organized, there are zebras & traffic lights, bus stops (even with passing marshrutkas' numbers!), cheep jazz cafés around Opera - altogether it has definitely a Spanish city look, only there are no motorbikes at all. There are no real sights, but still it's a pleasant city to be in, especially in evenings. I was looking forward to see Mt. Ararat but never managed because of the haze. I start by looking at modern Surp Grigor Lusavorich Catherdral near the marshrutka ...

... not a midieval ruin. At Alena's the family and I had dinner together and we watched traditional Armenian music videos, with a modern twist, in their living room, with ancient churches in the background of the musicians, with their new Moog keyboards and microphones. A few kilometers away, up another switchback road from Alaverdi, was Sanahin. The storm cleared while I was at Sanahin. Yet still a few snowflakes gracefully fell through the skylight pinhole in the gavit ...

... of Yeravan we fueled up the cars and found a spot to camp. It was dark but the place seemed as good a place as any. Off the side of a small road, abandoned apartment buildings all around us. We pitched our tents said our goodnights and went to sleep for the evening. Just before I crawled into my sleeping bag Zsofi grabbed a foam mat from the top of the car and placed it under my sleeping bag. "The ground is a bit bumpy and cold tonight you may want ...

Hey, guys! So we had quite an adventure yesterday. It was indeed a very Holy Day. We woke up at 08.30, as usual, and we had another wonderful breakfast w/ absolutely amazing bread and jelly. It's really interesting how the food is always so good when you travel. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing culture... Absolutely amazing. We knew that we didn't have a concert until 18.00 or so late night, so during the day, we went out to visit some ...

... autobusem dumat, zda jede jeho smerem ci nikoli. Nemusi porad prohlizet penize a hledat spravne hodnoty. Je rad kdyz se horka voda pousti kohoutkem vlevo - no znate to. Ja se treba nejvic tesim az budu jezdit v Praze tramvaji. Dneska jsem cestou do centra videla bilbord CSA s Prazskym hradem v pozadi. Poskocilo mi srdce.) Zitra budu doma.
