Armenia .. coming "straight" from Azerbaijan

The border Azerbaijan-Armenia is closed (war), so my trip was night train: Baku (Azerbaijan) > Tbilisi (Georgia) and then marshrutka (bus): Tbilisi > Yerevan (Armenia)

I really needed this night. I was alone in the cabin! @ night train from Baku to Yerevan 


Good journey by train. It reminded me the trans siberian trip @ train


easy and cheap to get this visa: 2 minutes & USD 7.5 @ border Georgia-Azerbaijan


marshrutka stopped for a coffee. I also wanted to be close to the fire (right) @ somewhere in Armenia



arriving in Armenia @ somewhere in Armenia
