Day 28

Today we’ll drive to Baku, the country’s capital city. Robin and Pixie are faster than us, so they leave a little bit earlier the hotel, anyway we’ll keep in touch to see us again on the city. We’re looking forwards it, they are so nice and friendly!

There is a huge difference between Georgia and Azerbaijan, the people is really really opened with us and the çai is back! It’s not that the Georgians are not nice or friendly of course! Is just that they don’t show it from the first moment.

It’s going to be a really hot day (the temperature has to reach the 37C) and we haven’t chosen yet our route, so we ask for it in one petrol station. What a thing! We stay there almost for an hour, they where really excited to see us! We drink our çai and they manage to say that we should take the road which goes to the mountains (they say a lot of times that we should visit Qabala).

We really want to arrive to Baku, and we don’t really know how the pavement is on the mountain road… So we just take the highway (even when we were said that this part of the country is like Sahara). We are surrounded by desert and anything else. We cross this beautiful empty fields until Baku. At some point we stop on the side of the highway to buy drinks. The guy there asks us to take a photo of the motorbike, we say yes of course, and then… he seats on the motorbike! Tià’s face it’s so funny… But it’s fine… He just wants a selfie!

As nearer we are, stronger is the wind. We have a hard time with some gusts, but it’s fine.

We don’t know what to expect from Baku, but what we find it nothing alike what we thought!!! it’s an incredible modern and fancy city in the middle of the desert! What a surprise! We are done after lunch, so we just go to the hotel to rest.
