Trip to Ismayilli region

28/11/2017

58 Comments

 
Last Saturday and Sunday I was traveling to the Ismayilli region together with the Neste-Jacobs team, which has recently been working in Azerbaijan. It was my second visit to this region, so I knew that there are a lot of gorgeous sceneries to photograph and that was my main reason to go.
First of all, I made the mistake and did not dress myself properly - it was very cold. And second - if you want to photograph you should not go with a bus full of people, but by a car, so that it is possible to stop wherever you want. So, I gave up my intention of being a photographer and just enjoyed the company and some sceneries from a window of the bus.

Lahic

There is a legend about a town called La. One day, there was a powerful  earthquake and La disappeared from the Earth. It became nothing - "hec" in Azerbaijani means nothing, and so this place was called La-hec. 
Today’s Lahij is a mountain village, 1,629 m above sea level with some 2,000 inhabitants.
People here still are speaking a dialect of old Persian, which is the primary language in Lahij. They have no alphabet for the language - it is only spoken.
Lahij is the village of copper-smiths and carpet-makers - men working with copper and women weaving carpets. There are several workshops on the main street of the village where the masters are selling their handcraft goods.

Just one road goes to Lahij and it ends in the village. It is a real excitement to go on this road, sometimes a bit scary, especially if you are afraid of heights. 
Beneath the village, there was a bridge across the river, built during the Soviet times. This was meant to be the beginning of a new route. Not a long time ago, this bridge was replaced by another new bridge, which still leads nowhere. However the people of Lahij are optimistic that one day there will be a new road.

Château Monolit Chabiant Winery

Here are some photos from our visit to Monolit Winemaking Guesthouse. The vineyard is located in the scenic Ismayilli region, right at the southern slopes of the Great Caucasus at an altitude of 750 m.

The wider tires often offer greater protection against punctures and disc brakes are almost always used thanks to increased braking power they offer

I like the idea of turning the field trip into a fun game. My kid is going on his first field trip and I want him to have a good time. After all, kids remember hands-on experiences more than what they hear in the classroom.

There are lots of adventures that I still have yet to do. I know that I have to do lots of things if I want to enjoy life, but I just do not have what it takes, at least not yet. I still have lots of time to do it, but I need to start doing it. I will try to do it beginning next year, that is for sure. I will start to go on adventures a lot more.

I know that some people may have their doubts on visiting Colombia, but it is truly a perfect place for a school trip. Only if we will give the country the chance to prove itself how beautiful it is in terms of tourism, even the kids will surely appreciate it! Of course, there are still people with different motives who are living there, and I guess all countries have it. Generally, these kinds of statement proves that a school trip there is ideal too. Besides, it’s full of beautiful people too!

These sound like good advice even for daily home life, actually. But then again, my observation of people with children nowadays, is that the children will behave on trips and outings, pretty much the way they are allowed to at home. And anyway, travel is just like anything else in life with kids - another aspect of grown life to prepare them for, rather than to avoid.
