That’s a beautiful, yet also desolate looking, spot. Those mountains with the snow are something.

Glad you like it, Lisa. We were right on the edge of Armenia here, so close to the border with Turkey. Borders mean nothing to views – this has to be as good a view of Mount Ararat as you’ll find in Turkey.

That’s a wow Debbie. The view and those mountains poking through the clouds….sigh

Thanks, Brian. We were very lucky with the weather. Apart from a couple of very cold nights where I could have done with half a dozen sleeping bags! And no we weren’t in tents. But it was worth it.

Very cold nights when you aren’t prepared isn’t great 🥶
