Leaving Georgia late last week was a little like leaving Laos many months ago. After nearly a month of perfect traveling in a country that’s perfect for traveling, it’s hard to imagine anything after coming even remotely close. For the last week or so that we’ve been in Turkey, everything’s been a contest. Georgia does … Continue reading
Things always seem that little bit more relaxed at a seaside town. And that’s exactly what Batumi is, situated next to the black sea along the western coast of Georgia. It’s a great way to end Georgia, after the epic intensity of Mestia’s mountains, which we braved a short week ago. The shores of Batumi … Continue reading
After 7 hours or so of hiking yesterday, high up in the mountain ranges of Kazbegi Georgia, Dianne and I are taking things easy today. We find ourselves stuck in and around our guesthouse, which is more of a modest home than a hotel. We are paralyzed by more than just sore muscles. The scenery … Continue reading

While i’m certainly no expert on the country, i’d like to think that i’ve learned a thing or two during my time there … Continue reading
It’s nice to feel energized again, after four days of doing close to nothing in beautiful Signagi. The eighteen days leading up to Georgia were pretty crazy, and so taking it slow in a small town of less than three thousand was the perfect remedy for us. Dianne and I now find ourselves in Telavi, another town in Georgia that’s only … Continue reading
Perfect days aren’t always sunny. The sky above me is grey, and the air around me cold, but i couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin our Georgian adventure after our last few intense weeks in scorching Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. After finally making it across the Caspian sea by ferry, Dianne and I … Continue reading
What a week! We were beginning to wonder if we’d ever get our ferry tickets to Baku, but at long last, we finally got the phone call we’d been waiting ages for. Aktau is a city in Kazakhstan that’s popular with travelers for one reason, and one reason only. The Baku-Aktau ferry ride is perhaps … Continue reading
The Caspian Sea. Sinbad the Sailor might have braved these waters many a century ago. And now it’s my turn! I sit in a cafe in Aktau, Kazakhstan, awaiting news from a ticket agency about the next ferry across the Caspian to Baku, Azerbaijan. The minutes tick by slowly in this dusty city with so … Continue reading
