At the moment when we are packing our motorcycles in the minibus, I start to realize that our trip has come to an end. We’ll be leaving for Riga tomorrow, but for Gvido, who is taking our rides to Riga by bus, the adventures will continue. For now, it looks like there’s only one road that will be safe for transporting equipment that is registered to individuals. With the ferry from Batumi to Ilyichevsk and then through Poland and Lithuania. Transit through Russia or Belarus isn’t possible because of the customs. Gvido will try to drive through Turkey in transit, because the date of ferry departure isn’t clear. It’s not clear how hard it will be to get the cargo in Turkey and we are eager to see the results.
Getting around on a motorcycle in Tbilisi wouldn’t be very comfortable. There’s a lot of traffic during the day and the heat is also something to take into consideration. Nico helps with transportation. He has brought cheese from the monastery in order to sell it. You definitely need more than one day in Tbilisi to get a taste of it.



Our story of Georgia has ended, but it lives on in the form of new friends that we have made here, the great impressions and the untamed nature of the mountains and the kind people that live there. The road will continue throughout the summer, while we will be making the film. I hope it will turn out to be as good as I expect.



A thank you to ‘Garmin’ for navigation equipment, to ‘LMT’ for providing cell phone reception and internet, to the Consular department of the Foreign Ministry, and all the people who supported us, kept checking in on us and kept us in their thoughts.



Thank you, Georgia and a special thank you to the monks of Berta monastery for the kind reception!
