Day 367-371: To Meghri

 Waking up to a good view and taking a stroll around the place before setting off




 








 





 @2344m








A lake. Sun is setting soon but I am determined to find a spot to camp with a lake view!


Perfect!

I planned to start early but end up sitting here longer enjoying the view and warm morning sun

Lots of bee farmers in this area


 Honey for sale




 
 Stacked dunks

 Not sure what is this...


 
 
 Neverending rolling up and down everyday






 


 



 12% asphalt descend for most of the way & 12% gravel ascend for the last 5.6km to Tatev. It was tough.


 Having been to Hell's village in Norway, I'm now crossing Devil's bridge in Armenia






Tatev villlage










This is...?













 Tatev Monastery

The popular viewpoint of the monastery





 Long stretch of unpaved road

 Mini fountain from a burst pipe but I don't want to get wet on a cloudy day.. 











Treat myself to a cake when the clock struck 12... Happy birthday!
