22nd of June was another day for the humankind and an important step for OssiBussi travels; we entered finally to this magic land after loads of hazzle with visas. On the border we were asked to pay 200 dollars of road taxes etc and 5000 dollars of deposit of bringing a vehicle to the country. Of course we dont have this kind of money and we denied to pay and insisted the deposit to be less. It took seven hours on the border to deal about this, at times more active, some hours just sleeping and cooking and taking shower on the border…

In the end there came one custom officer getting already a bit mad with us spending our time and not paying. He said, if we dont pay, they deny our visas and put us back to Georgia. Well, after some more discussions (Thanks a zillion for Aylin’s Turkish… Azerilanguage is just like Turkish so thats how we could deal about the payments!) and finally the custom officer was happy if we pay road taxes, forget about the deposit but give him 60 dollars and GO! Yee, so we did and such a freedom it felt to roll on azeri land finally!!

In one week it has been a lot of adventures, lets go back to them later… In general this country is something to remember with deserts and such warm-hearted people. The rumours of rude policemen hasnt been true; they have treated us very well. We are now already in the metropoli capital Baku by the superpolluted CAspian sea… And it is so Hot Hot Hot!!!!
