Very long dinner trip

After getting back from the excursion of today, we saw what there is for supper in the hotel. It did not look good, nor taste good. They sticked to the plain chicken and they had some other stuff, mostly full of coriander.
So we asked the guides if they can take us to some restaurant to eat. A lot of teams did that and we were told that it is possible, as we will have no more exams. Great.

They hired a marshrutka, this is a little bus like the ones were in Yerevan. This was suposed to take us to the restaurant in 20-30 minutes they said. It took more than 1,5 hours, as we were in a traffic jam.
We went pretty far away anyways, up to the mountains, further than the fun park.



This was a kinda fancy restaurant, but not expensive compared to our european prices though.
The food was ok. It was the national food mostly, 3 or 4 of us, including me, ordered some dish with meat slices baked with cheese. This was tasty, but not too much. The guides told us that this is huge and we will only manage to eat it if 3-4 of us take it together. Well, I would be able to eat it myself alone, unless I ordered other stuff like hatsapuri (also together with others).

The only problem was the confusion of the orders by the waiters or the guides translating, as the waiters spoke no english. This was surprising, as I thought that this restaurant is visited by a lot of tourists.



The view was awesome on the other hand. The lights of the city were visible, including the TV tower on the other mointain. We had a lot of time to enjoy it, as our table was outside and when we finished, we had to wait an hour for the marshrutka to arrive and take us back to the hotel.So we ended up spending much more time waiting for marshrutkas and in them then in the restaurant.

When we got back, some other teams said they went to the city centre and ate there in Wendy's. We decided to go there tomorrow if we want to go out, as there is no Wendy's at home. We'll see.
