Back in the minivan today, and off to St Hripsime church, the church dedicated to one of the 70 virgins that came over from Rome to preach Christianity. After this we headed to St Gayane another church also dedicated to the virgins. Being it seemed like a church day we next went onto the Etchmiadzin cathedral, the first christian church in Armenia.
Later had a change of scenery and went to Sardarabad, which told the story of how Armenians defended their country, with men women and children joining the battle.

By now we were all starving and ended up at the SAS Food court for lunch, it had every kind of food known to Armenia! After this we separated and the boys went back to the accommodation and down to the bar. Toros, Cindy, Suzie and Christopher headed to the gold factory, with 5 levels of jewellery it kept them busy for a while.
We soon we regrouped and all went to Sky Dine Gravity, dinner up around 50 metres in the air, except for me, so I piked out, from there they had a drink at the Raddison Blu hotel, where the drinks were watered down and service took too long and was overpriced!
Cindy and Toros caught a taxi back and the rest of them walked back through the Cascade Complex, stopping to chat to other Armenians from Australia, so it was another late night!
