Our beautiful accommodation in Tatev was sadly not backed up by a great breakfast so the resident dog scored well from both of us. We were to be downscaled to the budget option (outside toilet) for tonight with H reckoning he'd use a plastic bottle rather than get up in the cool night weather (we are at 2,500 metres).Feeling refreshed and with the weather showing some early promise we elected to walk to the Chairlift and the Tatev Monastery. Once again we got lost in the background streets of this non descript town and once again we always seemed to end up at the towns Cemetry .. hmmm !
Fed up we grabbed our car for the 1 km drive and with the weather starting to close in we elected to first undertake the cable car the Wings of Tatev . What an amazing construction, 5.7 kms long (a world first) and 320 metres above the ground ! This $22 million construction was completed in 6 months and gives an amazing view of the gorge during its 15 minute high speed run !
We road to the end and back after having a drinks break just in time for a feezing downpour. With the Monastery out of the question it was back to our budget Hotel accommodation special. With the rain settling in we even decided to forego dinner hoping that tomorrow might bring better fare !
