We have been always thinking of making a trip to discover that land. In Spring 2010 we decided together with the family visiting Yerevan, and to our surprise it was really a totally new discovery. Armenia didnt look like any of the other countries we have ever been to. It was a mixture of old and modern, Soviet and Independent ! In Yerevan we had many tours around, Erebuni, the republic square museum, the churches, night walks in Yerevan steets and open markets in the early morning. Our trip to Dilijan was impressing too, we have been to the monastries and the two museums available, stayed for one night in "Dili villa B&B", where it was all such an extream, we didnt like it that we are going to stay with the owner in the same house he didnt seam friendly and the place was not clean, old furniture, small rooms and toilets where not in a good order, no hot water and the most disturbing part there was no keys or security locks for the rooms, non speaking English staff is also iritating. They promissed us trips in Dilijan, but in general they are not so well organised so we didnt trust. In Garni I was impressed with the temple and in Geghard with the churches. In Etchmiadzin city, I was very happy to find an Armenian couple in a wedding ceremony. In general I can say we found a new land, a new discovery, a great exploration, and we wish Armenians the best.
