It does not do justice the beauty of this country but thanks to it’s border guards we only had a few hours before leaving towards Russia. Part of those I spent at the notary discussing if there is anything she could do to make my car authorization papers more authentic (no, she couldn’t), and on the road among crazy drivers, whose driving habits I tried to adopt (yes, I passed that exam with flying colors, just ping me if you need theoretical or practical lessions in Georgian driving style).

The remaining few hours we spent at Ananuri castle and at the Georgian-Russian Friendship Monument which are along the way to the border.
When I was there 5 years ago everything was hidden in thick fog, now we had sunshine and 20 degrees, only the hundreds of Indian tourists were the same.
