The best so far! Despite the bad drivers, these sound like your best stays so far! A real apartment and a chalet, good food, a road trip, gorgeous mountain scenery and charming towns laid-back enough for street cows. Hope this makes up for that next hideous journey. Great photos!
Georgia wants more tourists Georgia just seems to get better and better for us, and having our own car sure is giving us a bit more flexibility (and headaches). This is a really beautiful country and once you work out the menu the food is pretty good.
Feasting in Georgia and Sexy legs Ok, shoddy brakes, no worries-- you are experienced world travelers. At least they were still working a bit. The food does sound hit and miss but when it is good .....a feast. Go back and get the skirt so we can see a photo. I'm trying to imagine your killers ducks and I'm having a good laugh. A the joys of friendship. Wonder how much that cost? Enjoy the coast.
hairy legs + skirt = no photos please The skirts are long so you wouldn't see too much of my legs but there are still decency laws that would probably prevent me from publishing them. it was strange when women could enter the church wearing almost mini skirts but Michele couldn't with full length trousers, religions always have the strangest rules.
I like it! hahahaha....are you serious Scotty? Throws tractors? Hahahaha....that's the funniest thing ever. This town looks so pretty, I love that old town Euro look. Oh and a wine for breakfast, well ofcourse! In Slovenia I thinks its beer :)
Beer for breakfast! Traudy are you serious! why didn't you tell me this before? We have decided to change our plans and we are heading straight to Slovenia and I am going to investigate real estate, the place sounds like paradise.
Hello Sunshine No matter where you are in the world the best thing to watch is a sunrise or a sunset, but lets face it sunsets are easier and you can watch them with a glass of wine in your hand, although if you are in Georgia you can do the same thing for sunrises.
Hello again!!! I'm such a m...g! Talk about tight spots. God you made me laugh Michelle, looking at the way those bunks are set up I'd also need a shove up. The Yasaui Mausoleum is beautiful, in and out. What's with the laundry, yeah right? It's freezing here, well about 11 degrees, that makes it 9 in Club Padstow. %^&*(& hate Stalin.
Stalinmania I think you could hold the Stalin appreciation club meeting in a phone booth. I do believe he did some good somewhere but I am still looking to find what and where.
fifa I heard a rumour that your Georgian taxi driver is now working for Fifa and doing well . If you can build a magnificent deck at Mooney Mooney you should be able to nock up a small balcony for your motel room and it would have been less stressful than all the arguing . Just saying .
My kingdom for a hammer Actually the taxi driver looked a bit like Sepp Blatter, so maybe it's his new job. I should have packed my tools with me, just about every room we have got has had something broken, may have got free board.
Monastery Madness! The monasteries were wondrous, so amazing that even though quite ancient, they still sported discernible frescoes and carvings. I would, however, have liked to see Scott in a skirt for the service! But what madness was in your adventures from the best to the worst of hotel hosts and food (oh boy, mayo/cheese pizza and that nasty churchkhela that I was chicken to even try in Russia), sheep crossings and killer ducks, and the hard-to-believe figure of 700 people being slaughtered at one go without the help of automatic weapons. Very entertaining tour that one was! Love the grape troughs, jugs in the ground and roadside wine dispensaries--very exotic!
No skirt for me Me in a skirt would not make a pretty picture. The churchkhela did not taste the way we expected, nothing offensive, just chewy and crunchy.
Red wine for breakfast. Yes! Why not give it a try. Did you like the traditional meal? Was your hostess a good cook? Thrilled to hear Shelley has a hard head. Healthy on the road in these kind of countries is hard to come by...your philosophy of going straight with the pizza saves disappointment. The architecture in this city sounds fantastic. Georgia sounds great.
You need a hard head when you have wine for breakfast Food is a bit of an issue in Georgia, and have found that they love their cheese a bit too much and the meat can be a bit low grade, but we have had some fantastic feeds now.
Georgia on my mind... I'd say as a general rule, if you can't remember where you just flew in from, it's probably a good idea to go straight to bed and not go out partying ;) Hope Shelly's head is ok after the tap incident...that could have been quite bad. I seriously don't think I could drink alcohol in any form with breakfast, but then again I suppose it's conditioning that I'm sure can be unconditioned; but my liver may want to have a say in that :)
Whats for breakfast? Just finished another fabulous breakfast in Georgia where the owner of the hotel (and cook) offered us a generous shot of chacha (aka Rocket fuel), at which point I could hear my liver screaming. We had a shot last night so it was fairly easy to decline.
Good for your spirit, bad for your liver! I'd say that Georgian breakfast did you well--brilliant blog from the religious nuts on parade to Mother Georgia with her cup of wine to Shelley's salad of chips. Unbelievable that the flights were so booked that you had to undergo an all-day slog in what should have been 50 minutes! Who'd have thought there were so many people lining up for those sauna flights? On the other hand, congrats on getting yourselves into a fine, albeit rainy, city. And I'd savor that cheesy pide in a heartbeat (or heart stop)--yum!
Anyone for cheese? Glad to hear I have a cheesy soulmate, Shelley just looked like I was some sort of cheese swamp monster while I devoured it. Of all the countries we have visited so far we can honestly say that alcohol fuels this country- hope our livers survive. At the moment we absolutely love Georgia.
