Day 9 - Georgia...More Than Expected!

After our quick visit to the orphanage, we headed north through prairie-like northern Armenia and into Georgia. Though non of us really knew what to expect with Georgia, we were all pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the country. We passed the border and were immediately surrounded by lakes, rivers, rolling hills and expansive farmlands.

Bad weather and power cuts

So back it was to Georgia. On the way to the border the traffic came to a halt and we found out why after a while. The severe rain had caused landslides in a coastal town and several buildings collapsed and fell down the hillside, a few people died. There was mud everywhere wiping out half the motorway. Diggers and lorries were working to cart the …

Blackpool meets Beirut

Spent 1hr sweating in baking heat with no shelter at passport control, not pleasant. Short while later İ was in the resort town of Batumi.

Tbilisi

After 8 hours in a cabin shared between us a student at Tbilisi university and an obese man in his early 60s with uncontrollable flatulence we were happy to depart the train at Tbilisi's main station. Suffering from lack of sleep and GBH of the nostrils we found our way to the metro station. Arriving at Tbilisi's railway station, at first glance …

Batumi

We arrived at Trabzon airport after a hectic transfer in Istanbul that left us with only 30 minutes to clear customs and pass through security againin the domestic terminal. Eastern Turkey looks much like any other Eastern Mediterranean town, littered with unfinished, half finished and completely finished (yet decomposing) concrete apartment …

Black Sea Coast

Arrived at the Black Sea holiday town of Batumi late in the evening after a grueling journey over the mountains from Tbilisi. We took the southern road over the hills and it turned out to be one of the worst roads we have encountered on our journey, not made any better by the pouring rain.

The day started badly with the straps holding Baz' …

GEORGIA ON MY MIND- BATUMI & TBILISI

By the time I get on the milk-run bus to Trabzon, I'm already changing my plans in-flight. Suddenly a ferry trip across the Black Sea to the Ukraine doesn't sound so good. For one thing, it's not that cheap. For another thing, why? The original idea was to circumnavigate the sea IF a Russian visa were no problem. It is, time-consuming and costly. …
