My Azerbaijan Video
Surprising Azerbaijan
My travel surprise for the year is unquestionably Azerbaijan. Sure it was a headache to get a visa and more expensive having gone through the consulate’s office in Los Angeles by $140 per person, but it was money well spent, although I would urge travelers to go through Azerbaijan Embassy in Washington D.C.
In this Azerbaijan video, I culled together a handful of my favorite photos and put them together with some live music I recorded in a small cafe somewhere along the road from Sheki to Baku. While the restaurant’s name doesn’t come to mind It is an area filled with a certain old-world charm that I love. The food was authentic, the bathrooms messy and then this guy came in to serenade our group
Azerbaijan with Flotours
For the record, I was on a trip through Flotours. It is the same company I have traveled with through Turkey and was happy, so when I heard about a trip featuring Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia I jumped at the the opportunity. A group tour is not for everyone but it beats having to track down all of the local attractions on my own without benefit of speaking the language.
