Considering that the author is doing a blog series on visiting some of the more out-of-the-way places, I spent most of the piece wondering when he'd stop talking about the history and actually go on about the things he saw. When that list amounts to "I booked it to the next country because I exhausted everything worth doing in a day", coming from someone who tries hard to do interesting stuff well off the beaten path... it really sounds like the only reason to go to that country is to check it off the list of the countries to visit. Yikes.
