Day 29

First in the morning we have to go to the Uzbeck’s embassy, our route has changed and now we’ve decided to enter also to this country. When we arrive there is local people waiting, we think Robin and Pixie are already inside, again we were too lazy and too late! A good thing is that while we wait we start meeting other tourists, they are travelling through a similar route than us, and it’s nice to share experiences. Most of them wanted to take the same ship as us, so probably we’ll meet again on the vessel.

After more than an hour waiting, and some discrepancies about who had to enter, the guardians say that we are the next ones. We have to fill the paperwork and wait 2 or 3 days for a mail, then pay the taxes and come back to the office to get our visa. Easy enough.

In the afternoon we are ready to continue visiting Baku. We need to buy some stuff and that could be our last chance. The buildings are truly impressive, they have impossible shapes and materials. What to say about the malls and shops… We can’t buy anything there! There is luxoury everywhere!

Somebody need some diamonds???

After dinner in an “Italian” restaurant (they also serve sushi?!?), we walk through the promenade (they say it is the longest in the world, who knows?!). We have the opportunity to see the skyline during the night, we were just speechless. The towers of fire are quite impressive, so we stay there just looking at them like an hour!
