Next morning gives us a late start but even though this was our last opportunity for alcohol, no-one had felt inclined to party hard. News comes in that Kenneth has not managed to secure a seat on the night bus and will have to take an alternative route to catch us up in Doggy Biscuit (Dogubayazit) before we reach the Iranian border. It will be touch and go if he can make it and we have his luggage.
We set off on another long haul and are totally unprepared for the spectacular views of snow capped Mount Ararat as we reach Doggy Biscuit.
Once again, we are treated to a tour of the town to find our hotel. It doesn't take long but it takes 2 locals to get us there. The children are coming out of school as we arrive and look beguiling in their school uniforms. They wave and smile at us as we try to mow them down in the narrow streets. We finally reach our hotel with views over Mount Ararat. No sign of any Ark but an American 'researcher' assures us it has been found and was proven to be made from aluminum and titanium. Heaven help us.
