I almost been 2 months on the road. Slowly the occidental world has been left behind. The nice cars, big buildings, nice clothes banished. Not to talk about good roads. Slowly horses and cows started taking over the streets.
But Baku is an Oasis.
Last week we been non stop on the road from Tibilisi. In the mountain nights wild animals stolen our garbage, luckily not out food. On the desert days snakes jumped into our pedals. Few water, no shower.
But getting across the city suburbs we started smelling the people perfumes. The donkeys hide some where and a F1 circuit surrounded the city. Lights blinded us as rabbits on a highway. Flames conquered towers, and a mix of cultures told us we are going farther away from home.
Baku is impressive, modern... a good mix between orient and occident. The gate to the desert opened to us.
Are you going faster than planned, or is only a feeling I have?
