Azerbaijan - Day 0


Here we are! Only one day left to departure. For the ones that don't know it yet I am leaving tomorrow to Azerbaijan for about a month. I am going there for work and will spend 3 to 4 weeks doing an offshore survey on the Caspian Sea. The rest of the time will be spent in the capital Baku and hopefully I will be able to take a couple of day of holiday towards the end to see some more remote areas on the Caucasus.

The last few days have been pretty hectic trying to arrange everything in such a short time but I think now the most important things should be sorted, while the small ones will be sorted there somehow. It will be an interesting and challanging experience, but I am looking forward to doing it; I have the healthy mix of excitment and tension that usually makes me do things right.

I will try to send emails around to keep people updated but it will be a bit more difficult on the boat. For what I have been told it seems that I will not be able to use skype etc because the connecion offshore is apparently available only in certain times of the day and from their own system. So I will send updates by email once in a while and maybe put someone in charge of updating this blog (Greet, up for the task ? :). Well I think it's everything for now and you will hear again from me from the mighty and weird Azerbaijan!

Ale
