Goris I had great hopes for Goris. Like Sisian, it seemed like a good place to stay for a few Posted by sue deegan in travels 2010 | Jun 17, 2011

Sissian and how to get there We got up at a unpleasantly early time to take the only Mashrutka back to my favourite town of Vayk, then quickly catch another south to a town called Sissian. We'd become spoilt in the la Posted by sue deegan in travels 2010 | May 23, 2011

Day Fourteen (and into fifteen) - our last day(s) in ArmeniaThis was our last full day in Armenia as our flight was due out early Monday morning. Our plan was to have another excursion with Saro, this time to Ejmiatsin. Before we left, Lia, our landlady's daughter Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Oct 3, 2010
Day Thirteen - a jam packed day with HasmikAfter breakfast Hasmik arrived at about 10am to meet up with us so that we could walk together to Vernissage, the open air handicraft market just 2 minutes away from our homestay. We were so pleased to have Hasmik Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Oct 3, 2010
Day Twelve - Geghard and Garni Another half day excursion - this time we ventured eastwards from Yerevan towards the Geghard gorge and the monastery that clings to the side. The road we took has been subject to landslides over the years so there were Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Oct 3, 2010
Day Eleven - excursion from YerevanAfter a day yesterday without Saro, we were now back on the road with him on a planned half-day excursion westwards from the City out past the tacky casinos, Zvartnots Airport and a stretch of road where all the shops Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Oct 3, 2010

Day Ten- Parajanov Museum -Congress Hotel's Open Air PoolOne of my life's regrets is not getting to The Arnofini this May for the Sergi Parajanov film festival, as visiting this museum and seeing his art was one of the many high-lights of this trip. I would gladly Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 13, 2010
Day Nine - Sissian to YerevanSaro joined us for breakfast - he had been staying at his uncle's house in Goris. We had a good night's sleep at the hotel - it was very quiet and a lot cooler than in other places that Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 13, 2010
Day Eight - TatevMy turn to write a bit fortunately Cath has kept notes as I'd have no idea what we did on day 8, I must admit I haven't really had anything to do with the planning of this trip so spend Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 10, 2010
Day Seven - Jermuk & the cave villageAfter a rather hot night we woke up to yet another lovely breakfast. You would think that we are going to return to the UK twice the size but the food is very healthy so we should be OK. Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 8, 2010
Day Six - Lake Sevan and beyondAnother lazy start to the day. I definitely could get used to this. While we were waiting to leave Dilijian, a group of rather shifty looking men arrived to look around the building with Razmik. Apparently they Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 6, 2010
Day Five - around Dillijian After a leisurely breakfast we set off to see the first of two monasteries - Hagartsin. We are finding the later starts in the morning very agreeable. The pace of life here is slower, probably because of the Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 6, 2010
Day Four - into the regionsToday was the day when we would be leaving the big city and getting out into the regions. Before we left, Lia, Violet's daughter came round to give us some maps and wish us well on our journey. Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 5, 2010
Day Three - our first monasteryTrying to keep this blog up-to-date is easier said than done - we are now in the regions so hard to get to a computer with fast internet connection. Disappointingly this computer won't recognise my camera memory stick so still Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 5, 2010
First DayWe arrived at 5.30am Armenia time which is 4 hours ahead of the UK. We were met by our driver Saro - it was pouring with rain which was a bit worrying. We were taken to our Homestay Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 2, 2010
Day two -around YerevanSaro, our driver, arrived at 9am to take us out to the Genocide Museum. He speaks really good english and is very knowledgable about Yerevan. We set out across the city and the traffic was horrendous. There Posted by Cath_Greig in Armenia | Jun 2, 2010
Advice for future internsIt all happened so quickly! The internship, excursions, meetings, seminars, concerts, language classes, shawurmas, peach iced teas, cafes, and parties have all winded down.

World hold onWhen someone like Bob Sinclair comes to Yerevan, the whole city knows. Ever since I arrived here I've been seeing fliers everywhere advertising his concert. Admittedly, I didn't know his name but immediately recognized his most famous song "World Hold Posted by NatalieSLC in Miles to Go Before I Sleep | Aug 8, 2009
End of the CaucasusYerevan is a very Soviet city, with large buildings in shades beige and grey dominating the streets, which are all surprisingly well kept (around the centre at least), sharp corners and paint still on. The central planning of it shows Posted by Antonxiii in The Nomad | Aug 6, 2009
