The trip came about because of an email I got From Pembroke College about a trip to Armenia, so I decided to combine Georgia with Armenia, two countries that have been on my visiting list for a while. I have separate write ups
Georgia I arranged myself through Undiscovered Destinations. We left them at Yerevan and joined Theo Van Lint for a tour of Armenia. To give him his full title - Theo Maarten van Lint,, MA PhD Leiden, MA Oxf Calouste Gulbenkian Professor of Armenian Studies, who is among other things a fellow of Pembroke College. We had a very full tour with him, and he added a lot to our enjoyment and understanding of Armenia
