We have arrived!!!

Woooo! We have arrived at Envoy Hostel and ready to go.

After, many experiences at the Airports our 24hour journey was complete. Thanks to Kelly's Dad, we got to Gatwick in a minibus and in plenty of time. Check in was interesting to say the least, we very nearly had to fork out 500 euros for our resources bag - despite already purchasing extra baggage - but thanks to Cara standing her ground we got the weight cost for free! Cara had a scare when Marie handed over an empty passport cover, and berol pens were carried in everyone's pocket, which finishes the check in experience.
After the first flight that was hot and sticky to Riga, we had the 6 hour wait in Riga airport. Not much at Riga airport, which made the 6 hours drag on. However, a great time to get to know the team! We placed ourselves firmly in the comfy seats at Coffee Nation, and talked the hours away. After some help from the aesthetically pleasing gentleman in the transfer lounge we got to our second flight. After three and half hours later we arrived to a welcome party at Yerevan airport. Bundled into a taxi and Lilit's Dad's Car, we made our way to Envoy Hostel. 

We decided to have rest until 12pm, however we all over slept until 2, so now it is time to explore the capital! 

Talk soon,
