Betsy's Hotel Tbilisi

... sledné porušování...no fakt teorie her v praxi. Ondra vyhrál, když nám výpadek proudu v celé městské čtvrti dal najevo, že už je čas vyrazit na vlak. Výpadek obsluhu restaurace nezaskočil, holky jen vyndaly a zapálily svíčky a jelo se dál. Asi to zde není žádný vzácný med. A byl to teda výpadek pořádný, všechny domy v několika ulicích kolem se najednou propadly ...

... standing over 17K feet tall. Next to it and cone-shaped is Little Mt. Ararat. We spend a couple of nights in Goris which is very pretty except for the abundance of trash. There are formations that remind me of Cappadocia in Turkey, except that they are surrounded by green. We met 2 fun fellow travelers at our B&B (that had linked up in Yerevan) and the 4 of us went over a very bumpy, potholed road with lots of curves and a ...

... Lari for the driver and his car + gas expenses approx. 70 Lari), we lose nearly a whole day and we get only views on the mountains from the backseat of the car. Sad. Disappointed. Angry. We turn around and go back hoping to reach the valley before it gets dark. The driver has to take us to Luka's cousin who lives in a village near Gori city and we are very very happy to get out of this car of broken hopes. Day 1 is practically over.

... before taking the last 4pm marshrutka to Vardzia (5gel). It takes two hours to get there and it is a really harsh purgatory - the road is under a (fast) construction and the bus shakes and vibrates like a huge mixer even when it doesn't move. It's even hard to take any photos, although the landscape really demands it: there's vegetation just round the river and the canyon around keeps on going deeper and deeper. At 6pm we are finally in Vardzia. The hotel is simple but OK and since ...

... was no electricity and as the name gives away it was underground so no natural light. Couldn't work out how deep the lake was and if i could stand or not in the lake but the water was very hot and soothing and one person had a torch so like moths we kept swimming to the light. I felt really proud of myself because swimming is not my strongest activity and I'm a bit scared in the absolute dark. I'd bought some vodka with my left over local currency so drank to my ...

... in the same room. We end up in a smaller double room, Jim and Dan get ours, which has more room for a portable cot, and Jerri and Katherine get the twin bed room meant for Dan and Jim. Check in, and immediately start washing, with DP out for a quick pastry takeaway. Long showers and 3 hour sleep (only meant to be an hour after the previous night's bad sleep). Into town about 7pm after changing $50, then finding the right bridge ...

... we figured out that the name "bazruba" means "market" in Georgian. The inhabitants of Tbilisi call the biggest market in the city "bazruba", meaning "the market" in simultaneous translation. It is located around the Vagzlis Moedani metro station, a spit from Dynamo Stadium, Dynamo Tbilisi's home court. When I was there, by the way, I discovered that Dynamo Tbilisi Football Club, the major football club of Tbilisi, won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1981, winning the East ...

hey all my most sincere apologies agian for not writing as frequently as i should. never the less life has been great in the past few weeks. when i was in bulgaria i met some freinds, an aussie and a frenchmen and we travelled together for a week or so which was a blast. after sophia we went to plodiv, where we celebrated a national holliday. we enjoyed amazing food and great beer, it was quite an experience to get a 2.5 liter mini keg of beer brought to the table with dinner for ...

... of our plan was a small village in the northern part of Georgia, on the border with Russia, Kazbegi. We went there mainly because of the Kazbeg mountain, which was about to climb. But unfortunately we didn´t take the equipment (rope, axe, crampons..) because we were relying on tourist offices to hire that stuff from them. WRONG! We were sayed that the base-camp refuge provides it. When we asked, old-tough man wanted ...

... landscapes · Very striking people - dark flashing eyes - this is what Mills and Boon heroes where crafted on (girly romances hello - I spent all my adolescent years swooning over tall, dark and handsome heroes with dark flashing eyes). I finally found the basis of the most successful romance novels. Go to Turkey girls - that is where they are although I do not know where the TALL came ...
