5th day. During the night the snow covered entire territory of the sanatorium and flowers of some fruit trees barely begun to blossom, but the sun did not disappoint again, we had breakfast and listened to the sound of drip-drop outside. Spring! Half asleep I missed the direction we headed to out of the harsh Jermuk. It seemed to me that we constantly went down, where it's warm, but as the result somehow we ended up on top of the Selim Pass, close to the squat stone building of medieval caravanserai. I was surprised that it was warmer in the caravanserai than outside, even though it resembled a medieval great cold storage. However - the panorama from the height was simply amazing, and we spent a lot more time than planned, until photographed all of the surrounding rocks, snow-capped peaks, each other and beautiful clouds. Eventually, we returned to a warmer climate zone and found ourselves on the shores of Sevan Lake. Ashot showed us their hostel with a great name "Noah Land" - houses of boarding type on the bank and a new restaurant building with large rooms (probably for discos). I personally liked the fact that they have two large ferries with motors and cuisine on board, i.e. in the summer they can swim across the lake, have snacks, refresh and maybe even swim ... (oh, I forgot to ask him about the water temperature in the summer!). One more thing! On the territory of the boarding camp there was a replica of the ancient Armenian military vessel - in operating condition! And it, too, will swim across the lake. A large vessel (displacement - 50 tons) and looked very natural even on the shore. It's called Kilikia, Karen Balayan is the captain and author of reconstruction. My friends were not afraid to climb aboard that black corsair and even took pictures with the project managers. Ashot and Rachik invited us to have a dinner at a Yerevan modern cafe, or rather, a restaurant in the evening. Very cute, tasty, but without local color at all. This modern place would look quite well and in Kiev, Moscow or Berlin! Live music - a pretty girl was singing something light-jazz with the piano accompaniment. I was sure that that was Armenian language. As a result, due to the helpful waiter, we found out that it was Portuguese.
