Breakfast came early at 06:00 and we were taking the tents down and having breakfast in the dark. This was the first time we had gone to bed and got up in the dark – sign of things to come. We left the camp site at 07:10 heading for Lake Yaravan, capital of Armenia. 
The capital is a real surprise – modern, sophisticated, clean and westernised. The hostel is the best accommodation to date (modern dorms with electricity and wireless internet, good showers and toilets) – we are being spoilt.
It is very hot here especially from 11:00 to 18:00. Must be around 40 deg C.
When we arrived I managed to get a free coffee from a coffee shop which actually officially opens next week.
In the afternoon I went with Will, Johnie and Tonito to the Museum (which specialised in ancient books and documents), the amazing art gallery and lastly I found impressive Opera House. 
We all slept in on Tuesday until about 09:30. After breakfast I went to the Central Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, the English Park, a major Church, the “outdoor” market, and the main Museum.When I had lunch at a street cafe I was in the shad, but it was so hot that the small chocolate which I had with my coffee actually melted and I drank it after my coffee.
In the evening the city really comes alive. I saw the fountain show in one of the squares (I will put a video of it on the blog).
