As a trip to China was not enough traveling for one summer, from August 13 to 18 Jacopo and I went to Azerbaijan and Georgia.
We spend 3 days in Baku, and then took a 13+ hour night train to Tbilisi, where we spent another 2 days seeing the city and the smaller cities of Mtskheta and Jvari.
Here come the pictures:

Baku is an EXTREMELY windy city!
The fire towers are even prettier at night
land of fire!

on the train between the 2 countries, we had a nice little room

It was an amazing holiday and, along with graduating from uni, the fact that I got to see 3 new countries this summer really lifted my spirits after a difficult year.
I have now officially been to 21 countries, so I'm still far from seeing all 196 countries but this is a start.
I'll try to post more about my life, as I have lots to post about, just gotta free my schedule a bit.
