Hotel Lalaner Sisian

... tu na rozdíl od angličtiny aspoň trochu umí každý. Nakoupili jsme si chleba a klobásky a vyrazili zpět na piknik do parku.
Poté jsme se vydali z kopce skrz město (přes klasickou náves) zpátky na hlavní tah - nikde jsme něviděli ani náznak taxíku nebo autobusu, a tak jsme si řekli, že dojdeme do většího města Megri 6km pěšky. Po cestě jsme potkali volně ...

... zeptat se, jak se podel hranicni cary dostat k mestu Norduz, kde je prechod do Armenie. Ochotny celnik se nas hned ujal, aby se z nej po pulhodine vyklubal clovek, kteremu se neda verit ani nos mezi ocima. Kazdou minutu rikal jinou cenu, za kterou by nas jeho kamarad mohl odvezt. Nakonec se ukotvila na 20 dolarech, coz jsme odmitli, on chtel zase nejaky uplatek, ze to sezene za deset, kdyz mu dame deset atd. Radsi jsme utekli a dal vubec nevedeli, jak se dostaneme ...

... feed you a fabulous dinner on the first night but the one for the last night is likely to be the worst.

Goris is a small city in the eastern corner of Armenia, in the mountains and very close to Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, for which a bitter war was fought about 10 years ago and to this day these two countries are still bitter enemies. If your passport has an Armenian stamp and you go to Azerbaijan or vice versa, you will be denied ...

Vstavat v 6 rano na autobus nebylo hezke, zvlast kdyz se mi v posteli tak dobre spalo. Cast cesty do Stepanakertu jsem prospala a protoze nakonec jedu se Svetlanou do Mirtuni, prospala jsem i kus cesty tam. V Martuni jsme sly nejdriv k Svetlane domu (jejim rodicum) a najedly se s nimi.

From the plateau we move down into the land of rolling hills. A roadside pit stop is a chance for me to indulge in yet another boiled egg and bread snack. We taste the purest spring water and marvel that in this land of dun-coloured, stubby grass that there are dots of colours. Lavender crocus and tiny red berry bushes have stretched tendrils, struggling blooms in this autumn ...

Tonight my hopes of a quirky hotel were met again - musical plumbing and a shot of local cognac to ward off the permeating cold and damp. We arrive in the driving rain at a metal gate, that opens after a few shouts from Artur. Our hotel is fantastic, a high ceiling foyer with a small window for the reception and a stuffed bear chained to a corner. Its jaw is eternally stiffened in a toothy snarl, which thankfully isn't mirrored by the ...
