No Experience Required

The minibus slides out of Baku at 09:00 with the sea shrinking behind the low buildings and the Caspian haze lifting like a curtain. Within an hour the city has given way to scrub and salt flats, and the driver steers toward Gobustan — the wind here has a personality of its own, pushing at your jacket and tossing grit into the seams of the road.
