We arrive in Azerbaijan by boat. The port of cargo ships is 80 kilometers from the city of Baku, an artificial oasis in the middle of the desert and on the shores of the Caspian Sea. The only question they asked us while we were migrating was whether we had gone or thought of going to Armenia. Night fell when we arrived in the city of Baku. It was cold and drizzled a little. We arrived in the city in a truck carrying watermelons. The truck toured much of the old walled city of the twelfth century. Finally, after making several turns through the nooks and crannies of its streets, it left us in the lodging house of the historic center. Once lodged and without knowing well where we were, we went out to see the surroundings around the historical center. Everything we saw made us suspect that there was a lot to see by the amount of interesting monuments even though they were vaguely illuminated. It gave us the feeling of a mysterious city. We hardly saw people walking down the street and th...

There are places in the world, which should be a must visit, such as the Machu Pichu of Peru, the pyramids of Egypt, or the historic city of Petra. Cambodia is well worth a visit, although it is true that the vast majority, among which I am, simply add the excursion to Angkor Wat as part of a larger trip through Southeast Asia. Angkor Wat is another place that the human being should visit once in a lifetime. The temples of Angkor is one of those places that you expect a lot, even fearing disappointment, but nothing is further from reality. They are even more spectacular than you can imagine. Cambodia, I owe you one! Day 1 - Siem Reap We get up without hurry and a tuk tuk takes us to the port of Luang Prabang where we will take our plane to Siem Reap. Our plane left at 10.40 and arrived at 12 noon. When the height began to decrease I could begin to observe the landscape being fascinated with the beautiful picture. All that covered my view were rice fields, palm trees and mountains leavi...

We finally reached Varanasi. This city is still incredible. Some things have changed but others are and always will be the same. Thousands of people from all over India gathered on the banks of the Ganges. We had not seen so many people together in our entire lives. The arrival to the hotel was in the morning in a rickshaw. The traffic at that time was hellish and the streets, like the station, were bursting. Everyone was stuck. We entered our hotel. In the afternoon we go out. This year the monsoons have been good in India and there is some building in the Ghats that is cracked. The height of the river is enormous and the width will be a quarter more than the previous time. From what they told us a month ago, one could not see the stairs of the Ghats from how high the tide was. And the width from side to side of the river reached the kilometer. Because of this the Ghats are clean. At a restaurant I stop to eat a Pav Bhaji. A lot of vegetables, for example a boiled potato, carrots, cau...
