Georgia, the road to Tbilisi


OK, so it's a train track. I stuck to the road but took this shot for my dad and brother who are train spotters! LOL
Georgia. Seems like I've gone back to the west with this catholic country. Definately no more mosques, tea, figs etc here. Dangerous roads again, like Romania. The ride to Tblisi was a bit of a culture shock with the place being totally run down and very grim. On entering Tblisi though things looked much better. Again, great statues, building and women again! Think the girl from the Bond film QOS, she's everywhere.
A rest day the following day meant a night out. Deceided on wine for the night and overall a good late night, got to know a couple of the guys a little bit more.
Incidents are now becoming more frequent in the group now. 'Dental Floss Dave' had an off (cut and bruised) , six of the group are suffering from food poisoning/a bug, the Azerbaijan visas have not arrived and I've a sweat rash (honest!) on my knackers! Finally got some anticeptic cream for them after trying to explain, short of getting them out on the counter, in the grim chemist!
