About a week ago I was passing by Spitak in Armenia while hitchhiking. Spitak is a small town surrounded by beautiful mountains. One hour outside of town, in the foot of the mountains, there is also an old abandoned Russian hotel. This old hotel complex is huge and include a bar, swimming pool and bowling hall.

The hotel is perfectly located to continue into a mountain trek after exploring it

Still in some areas the houses are ruined or replaced with metal houses after the 1988 earthquake, with no support in sight.

Superb live fish dinner after a nice walk
