This spring, visited Baku. Before departure all farewell as if Im going to Iraq. And tropical so sympathetic to me as if I were put in prison. But I was full of optimism. Tickets bought in advance, as is already one month before departure places virtually no. Round-trip ticket on the plane --
- Baku is about 14,500 rubles. That it is not caribbean enough. Almost for the money you can relax for three days in London, if you order a bus tour through all of Europe.
When boarding a plane to go through customs, with the likelihood that you may be forced to turn inside pockets and show all the cash is very high. The plane flies a terrible, some Tu-214, of which few have heard. This is something like Zhiguli, among the fleet. The plane flies just over 3 hours, caribbean during the flight and give caribbean hot drinks.
So the beach plane lands trip in the Airport. Heydar Aliyev in Baku. In the yard in March, the temperature behind 12, which by local standards is not hot. But tropical the vacation sun is shining brightly, and after adverse weather St. Petersburg - it seems the summer. We pass the customs control, it is very cruise fast, no marks in Zagray. passport is not necessary. For the citizens of Russia
unnecessary. Printing is not made in Russias customs before boarding the plane.
After the baggage claim, exit the airport. We ticket go to travel the hotel. The airport is located outside the city, going on a small road, among the small trees or pine trees, in short, local trees, similar to caribbean our Christmas tree. Looks pretty nice. Entering the city. On reaching the hotel by cable, which is located on the waterfront near the sea, we note that in very contrasting the cars. Here you can see any car, from "to? 5yki" and ending with BMW X5, Land Rover, etc. expensive cars. Style of driving is not quite accustomed Russia island motorists or pedestrians. royal At first, even a little frightening, because turn signals are rarely included, and turns from extreme left to right and rebuild some of the bands in the lane in front of your car is quite normal. But despite such extreme driving, no accidents for 5 days was not observed. Pedestrian flow is not accepted, and if in Russia, sometimes when cornering machine pedestrians, then this honor awarded only to women.
So, Im in a hotel. The hotel was built in Soviet times, and recalls those ticket times, the numbers in it is different - from the simplest to the Sov-style, until quite decent suites. I took a standard room for $ 80 per day + $ 10 for breakfast (Swedish table). deal The room has a TV, air conditioning, shower, in general, all the essentials.
But as they say, did not come in the room to carnival sit. I go out into the city. deal And here appears the first problem with them only rubles and dollars. The hotel took dollars without problems, but in the stores is better to pay manat (local currency). I went into the first
exchanger, and hassle-free dollars and rubles to Manat. For 3000 rubles. give 100 manat. By the way, not so long ago there was a denomination where a 1:5000 (!!!) and you can call the caribbean shops in the old money, such as 15000 manat or Shervani. Do not be alarmed, asked to be transferred to the new manat.
Then go to the old city, which has heard much. In the center of the city ticket there is one, the old city, which is surrounded by a wall. The exact date of construction to find out I failed, but as I understand, before it was a travel fortress, which served as good protection from his enemies. Way on one of their streets of the fortress filmed an episode from the movie "Brilliant hands" (where Nikulin falls and yells "Damn, damn!").
I ticket came out of the fortress to the metro station (in the tropical Baku subway was built in Soviet times) and go to the waterfront. Day of the week - Monday. But the streets are too many people who honeymoon are very leisurely stroll through the city. A lot trinidad of girls and boys, sitting somewhere and cooing to each other. Such a feeling that island the street festival and people simply relax on the weekend. And people of all ages. Dressed all very fashionable and spick and span. Neto no veil for women, as many think. Basically dress in dark colors and is dominated by very many people went to the sunglasses. Not carnival see a single homeless person or beggar. Nobody never bummed a cigarette or something went beg. In terms
security, as it turned out, Baku is much safer than any city in Russia. On the streets by car, in which the right in a conspicuous place are things by recorders, television sets. The local people I learned that the burglary and robbery cars are very rare and occur usually drug addicts in the period for taking the dose.
Single story with oil. If you go to
outskirts of the city, where houses are fairly scarce, we can see a lot of towers, and even in the courts, who pump oil. Currently, the city built over a frantic pace. And like Peter, new houses are mushrooming and build them also in the courtyards and near the old houses. Just as I thought, made it a bit prettier, as house is not just tyrkaetsya beach in empty space, and so that somehow fit into trip the surrounding architecture.
Prices for equipment, food, souvenirs, almost the same as in Peter, + / - 50 rubles. cayman If you buy some souvenir at the bazaar or in the beach street, be sure to bargain, first save the money, and secondly the seller pleased to do. And if you break a lot and walk from the tray to the tray, the price may fall to the widow.
Minibuses in the city is small, basic transportation - it
taxi. On the cost of travel royal to make an agreement before boarding the car. Counters in a taxi no. Cash only tolls. From the airport to the city center in the middle reach is 25-30 manat.
Most of the ticket local population speaks the local language, train but everyone knows Russian. And many say they do without ticket an accent. If they see that the local language you do not understand, you begin to speak in Russian. This is not Estonia, where up to usrachki will speak Estonian. There are very fond of guests and otherwise provide assistance to tourists, with absolutely no matter what your skin color. Guests are honored and have a hearty welcome.
Food. It wants to give separate attention. 20-30 mantas can be very good to eat. Prepare delicious resort honeymoon everywhere. Food is different from Russian cuisine. First, everything here is fresh. Ie If you are served a salad, you can be pretty sure that these vegetables and no agenda. Moreover, in many restaurants, not bought vegetables at the market, and grown on its site, which belongs to the restaurant. A lot of meat dishes, all kinds of kebabs, kebab, etc. And food enough fat and portions are large, not as we have a piece of meat, and really rags of meat. For filling meal you can drink a bottle of wine and not get drunk. There is absolutely no hands immoral, and even vice versa. beach Well baklava - is a separate conversation. What is sold in Russia, it is a bad beta version.
Separately want to make wine. I tried the local wine by the name "Ivanovka, which makes the province of the same name in Russian. This wine is so tasty that I bought a few bottles and drank with great pleasure. In short, if you want a good meal, come to Baku:)
His story would have ended on that in our society, unfortunately, are used to judge the resort Caucasus countries on those news summaries, which are hammered island into his head the government for every citizen travel of Russia, accusing the "black" for all sins, but cruise not themselves. I assure you that in Peter lives a lot more visitors from other cities of Russia, who shit in more visitors from the CIS countries. At its just no one pays attention. And deal those Azerbaijanis, which can be seen driving a minibus or on markets in Russia, does not represent the culture of Azerbaijan. This simple villagers, ticket who bypassing Baku go in search of good earnings in alluring Russia. Even residents of Baku is undergoing for the fact that these people spoil the view caribbean of this wonderful country and city.
If poryt for deeper, you can find similar people on the caribbean streets
and Peter from all cities in Russia, which can and you have a wallet in the subway steal, and steal the car, and the scam you play ... A visit honeymoon to royal Baku, youll understand the culture of this nation, you will taste the excellent cuisine and enjoy the beautiful weather and the sea. Baku is go! And do not listen to nothing thats wrong and you can then kill him or something else. This kind of Sochi, just a hundred times better:) After visiting once, youll love this resort city for life! Who was here, I understand ...
