Most of you are probably wondering what happend to Chirol? We last left off in Yerevan. I headed up to Vanadzor and took a daytrip to a pleasant little town at the bottom of a gorge called Alaverdi. I then went back to Tbilisi, and on to Gori where I enjoyed the insanity of the Stalin museum and huge statues of him around town. Next was Borjomi, Georgia, famous for mineral water and its nearby national park which I planned to visit. However, here I fell sick for about 4 days and headed to hospital for some fluids and antibiotics. All is well now and I’m in Trabzon, Turkey for two days and going to Istanbul on Thursday. I’ll try to upload some pictures soon but we’ll see. Again, the travelogue will be very thorough when I return. Also, I’ll be meeting Lady Chirol (Mrs. Chirol in August!) in Istanbul to spend around 10 days traveling together so blogging will suffer then.

subadei added these pithy words on 25 Apr 07 at 10:11 pmGiven your penchant for, er, unconventional travel destinations one wonders where you’ll be honeymooning. I can imagine a CA post some time in August that begins:
“Well, we’re off to the FARC infested jungles of eastern Columbia and so blogging will suffer…” LOL

So many fabulous things to see, including those monstrous city walls across the isthmus. They make anything I have seen in the UK look puny, even the castles in the Welsh Marches
Josh added these pithy words on 27 Apr 07 at 6:01 amSorry to have missed you, I was hoping we’d cross paths. I’m on a similar trip: I started in Turkey, am now in Abkhazia and will end up in China. See here: http://www.joshuakucera.net.
