Ever fancied cycling through Azerbaijan? We cycled across it from Georgia to Baku on the Caspian Sea. Read about it here.

Cycling into Azerbaijan was in many ways like returning to our long lost friend Turkey but, and at the risk of offending any of our new Turkish friends who may be reading, with a little more order. At least superficially in the way the fields and crops are laid out in clear, tidy rows and the produce sold at roadside stalls is stacked into perfect pyramids in separate baskets on purpose built shelves rather than being heaped on a table or left in the car boot. Almost immediately we noticed similarities with the language and the general interest and friendliness we received from the people we passed.
