The word beautiful is used to many times and something really beautiful is lopped in with the mediocre. The scenery if not beautiful very close to it. It was wet and cold and still I enjoyed the ride immensely. I think the Simpson Desert is beautiful so beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The sun came out for long enough for me to snap a few pics.
Kars was recommended to us and it was worth the effort because of the scenery. The city itself is not worth the effort.
Five ethnic groups in Kars - Kurds (majority), Turks, Azeri, Georgian and Armenian. Everyone seems to be getting on well - makes for different facial features on the streets.
Kars is like a wild west city. Gun shops everywhere and they sell all the 'good stuff' like military automatic rifles, etc. No licence needed. Glock pistol? (like the boys in blue have back home) - no problem but has to be ordered in (fancy brand name stuff) - heaps of pistols with obscure brand names though.
The main shopping precinct has many bulk honey and cheese shops. It is a dirty and crowded city.
The two main tourist attraction is the fort and the mosque - had a look. The mosque is another church converted - built in the year 500 AD.
