Trip to Armenia with Emelie and Albin

If we were to explain our trip to Armenia with one word, it would be: Perfect!

We have made the best powerfull perfect organization before our trip. For exemple, the day before we went to Armenia, we hadn’t the number and the address of our contacts in Yerevan, we got the three sleeping bags at 23h00 the same day.

But, this technical question didn't stop us ! The 10 of September at 11h, we left for Armenia in martchoutka from Tbilisi.

Our driver was very rude towards the passengers but we arrived safe at Yerevan. After purchasing a sim card, we had called Anahit (the Armenian trainer from our “On Arrival Training”). In her office we found the phone number of Adela, our EVS contact in Armenia (Thank you Anahit).

We met Adela and she showed us where we could sleep. 

Adela cooked for us a delicious slovad dish

Emelie, Albin and I, we did some shopping and visited some beautiful places in Yerevan for the first four days. We met some other volunteers in Armenia (Michaela, Pauline,Tania an Irish drunk man and one girl from Germany), and some Armenian inhabitants ( Taron, Lilith, David and some more).

The fifth day we went in Garni and Geghard with Pauline, our taxi had a flat tire, so another taxi had to pick us up. In Garni we made the Perfect picture ! So now, you can stop taking pictures, we have THE perfect picture! 

THE perfect picture

In the evening we sought for the restaurant “caucavsus restaurant” to eat Armenian food. After a long time we finally found it with the help of three Armenian guys because Taron drew for us a nice, but very wrong map and we walked around in many streets in Yerevan. Tolma and Armenian spaghetti were very good. For us, It was the perfect day (I broke a pot of sugar in the morning, Emelie was eaten by mosquitoes, our taxi had a flat tire, a bad map, a violent storm with lighting and big rain felled on us during our walk in Yerevan etc…).

We came back the 16 of September by martchoutka again but with a better driver. Seven hours later, we arrived at our flat in Rustavi, tired but happy !

Perfect trip with perfect people !
