Alongside strolling on the pretty Baku streets with a group of lady friends, she also tastes amazing food and creates beautiful photo moments in the country.
She captions one of the photos thus: 'A truly surreal n magical day spent in Baku.' And it goes without saying that the 49-year-old looks extremely confident and pretty in all her outfits.
The 'Land of Flames'!
Did you know that Azerbaijan is often termed a country of fire or the 'land of flames?' Apparently, many believe that there are 'eternal flames' across its mountains and their main deity is the fire God. Even 'Azer' in the country's name means fire.
As for the scientific explanation for the flames, Azerbaijan is a country that has plentiful natural gas reserves and often they leak to the surface causing spontaneous fires. This has fascinated the natives and travellers alike, since times immemorial.
The country even has 'Fire Temples' like the one in Ateshgah. Yanar Da, a 'burning mountainside' in the country's Absheron Peninsula, is also a tourist attraction and a natural gas fire that blases continously up to 10 feet height.
The area also has a museum featuring its history.
The tourists can also explore the old city of Baku and its historic sites, the iconic trio of buildings called 'Flame Towers' overlooking Baku Bay, Gobustan Rock Art and more.
