Last days in Azerbaijan

Headed NW towards Sheki but decided to break the journey for a night in Ismayilli, a town that was easier to get into than out of!


Pic of a bizarre lunch in Ismayilli with the locals.

But next day headed to Seki and had local people wanting to help us all the way - one of the joys of independent travel. 

There's a UNESCO classified palace in the very old bit and a couple of caravanserai - very picturesque.  





Next day walked to a ruined fortress which was almost inaccessible and an "Albanian" church in Kish (dating pre Roman).  Albania is a very old name for this part of the Caucasus, nothing to do with present-day Albania!  Very interesting visit.





Leaving tomorrow morning for the border with Georgia.
