Hungover in Baku

Hungover in Baku. Breakfast was a fight as the charming hostess said, “Pay”. We tried to get across the “breakfast included” concept and thought we had the problem solved. More later.
A bit of Internet café and not much activity today as we tried to recoup from the night before.
We walked the streets and had an early dinner at Shakespeare’s before promenading on the boulevard with the locals. Saturday’s are the time for Azeri women to come out dressed in their finest clothes, for children to come out and drive the electric cars through the park and for families to sit and watch the scene.
The breakfast battle continued with the hotel…
