The hilly surface allowed to have more than one sunrise, on my way i filmed several 🙂
When I planned the route from Yerevan to Goris I saw on the map the Azerbaijanian exclave Karki (now called Tigranarschen) and first was worried if I can pass. But I learned that Armenia had occupied that territory

But only after the night I realised that I had made my night stop there. Now I am not sure if I regret that I had ignored the detour of komoot that would have led directly through the village.
I preferred the main road, as anyway it goes up, but the road is much better (not: good). So I made 500m and more than once was happy about my stop last night. On top, it was time for breakfast. 
I didn’t find a better place for long, it was exhausting even today, without 80km before, it was good, not to do it not by night, because of holes and: there was no open hotel to see in Chivas, how would I have felt arriving there in a very bad condition at night?
At least, I found a street market, people preparing their fruits for the day, some waving hello and one shouting hello. So, I made a stop, as I anyway wanted to buy some peaches. But it was again impossible to pay, one guy gave me 2 peaches, another some grapes, so another one, too, and at last I got another peach and was not allowed to pay…
In the next village, at a bus stop, there was an elder couple with big backpacks. We said hello and then changed to German as Rainer and Kerstin are from Berlin. They not even had a phone and so we decided to try a meeting in Tabriz, they new a place, we fixed a day and time we will see what happens ?
I made stops at two places from the Karbakh-Tour, at the (wine) market in Areni and at the food court in Yegneghadzor.
For long times, whenever I saw a rubber band at the street, I had to look harder to see if it was a snake.
and when I finally “found” one, dead of course, as so many animals you find along a street, it came a bit surprising how it looked and what could have happened.
And I made this a short day as I stopped in Vayk as I, first, wanted to have a better rest as a compensation for the last one) and, second, didn’t want to risk missing an available place to stay in favour for more kilometres. I am sure that tomorrow I will find a lot of places to stay but I am also sure there would be not even one, if I would have gone on. This is a kind of miracle showing the importance of my mere existence for the presence and absence of hotels.
