Tbilisi Travel Blogs

I woke up with a headache, feeling feverish, achy all over, and my body emptying itself of fluids as fast as it could.  I was not going ANYWHERE!!  This meant that Rob was on his own for the day.  So the remainder of this blog has the special guest writer my husband Rob.   Rob…

Last night I was still in the jetlagged mode. I slept during the day for hours and that made difficult to sleep at night. The newly painted wall smells so strong and the hostel doesn’t have heater, only portable one made in China. The owner insisted not to use it overnight because it’s a cheap…

An awesome trip to a beautiful region!

I was chosen to compete in the 'Caucasian Challenge'; a motor rally that traveled from the Balkans (Budapest, Hungary) to the Caucas Nations (Yerevan, Armenia), and many places and backroads in between. My team was sponsored by virtualtourist.com! It was truly a great adventure!!

The day started off with me getting up and ready to go by 9 am.  I headed down to the hotel’s restaurant for some breakfast.  I love breakfast - I think it is my favorite meal.   I wanted a simple bacon,  eggs and toast but the waiter convinced me to upgrade to the dish w…

My flight got into Tbilisi at 3am.  I was tired and still not sure about how I was going to get back to Baku.  The Azerbaijani travel agency didn’t open until much later, so I had to sit around till then.  There were no flights out of Tbilisi that day into Baku, so I asked the lady…

People I met here who contributed to, and improved my trip: Julia (Russia)   Back in Tbilisi for the final time we once again stayed with Nana, who had kindly looked after our large rucksacks whilst we were in Kazbegi. As a farewell Dinner Julia and Nana cooked up a storm and i was treated t…

When i think about Georgia it reminds me the Black Sea Coast, Old anciant churches, Batumi botanical garden, Best red wines, people with realy big hospitality and with unusual,lovely russian accent.....

In the end, it was a bit of an anticlimax, as we slid slowly and very neatly into the small port of Poti. Small the port maybe, but it is a hive of activity, with a miscellany of the world’s tramp steamers here loading and unloading a cornucopia of loads.   Ships from Antigua, Majuro in th…

Fellow travelling since 2006 from Hawaii to Halab and beyond.

Viaje a Georgia entre el 18 y 23 de abril de 2008. Visitando Tbilisi, Mtskheta, Gori, Uplistsikhe, Sighnaghi, Kazbegi y Batumi.

On the Azeri-Georgian border, I had to wait for quite some time for the borderguards to finish their bureaucratic stuff. But while waiting, I met some nice Georgian people with whom I talked for a while. Within 5 minutes, I was busy with writing telephonenumbers of all their friends in Georgia who …

A road trip to Baku to watch Azerbaijan v Wales in the world cup, and raising money for orphanages along the way!

2007 was a great year. Set off from London in July in a Nissan Micra for Mongolia. Got there 35 days later, left the Micra in Mongolia for chairty and then had to try and find my way home. Went via Trans-sib to Moscow, had to get out contry asap due to visa. Failed - got detained. Got back 2 weeks late for work and 55 days after London. Completely eyeopening and rewarding experience, if not quite tiring. Lost my camera in Mongolia so lots of friends photos other than my phone :(
